Slackware Linux Packages
I am upgrading my home Linux server from Slackware 12.2 to 64-Bit Slackware 14. Slackware has the LPRng printer package retired in favor of CUPS. While I am going to transition to CUPS eventually, for now I just want to get everything running again. So I managed to get LPRng compiled and running for 64-Bit. The Slackware package and the sources are here. |

Linux Kernel Patch for my Framegrabber
I have an old framegrabber card based on the Zoran ZR36120 chip. It ran fine under the Linux 2.4 kernel, but the code was never fully ported to the 2.6 kernels. I finally found the time to patch the code, and now have this framegrabber working under my current 2.6 kernel. At least on my machine, it requires the BigPhysArea patch, which also was a 2.4-specific patch. It runs without change on 2.6. |

mkisofs Patch
to significantly speed up filename mapping
The filename mapping in mkisofs is very slow when the filesystem contains lots of files starting with the same text sequence (Qmail Maildir files, for example.) My patch significantly improves the speed of the filename mapping (>90%). |

AVI to Quicktime Converters
Several converters for the Mac that I found all over the Net. Both Intel (for Indeo) and Microsoft (for VfW/Mac) provide some tools, but the freeware tools collected here seem to be more up-to-date. |
