OSS (Open Sound System), 5. Libao (http://xiph.org/ao), 6. PortAudiov19 (http://www.portaudio.com), 7. PulseAudio (http://www.pulseaudio.org), 8. JACK1/JACK2 (http://jackaudio.org), 9. GStreamer (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org), 10. PC-Speaker (at least Linux and DOS). It can also: - convert IMY ringtones to MIDI files, - convert IMY ringtones to WAV files, - write raw samples to an output file, - execute an external program on each note. See the project homepage https://imyplay.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above.

NorQualizer is a smart audio equalizer/normalizer which corrects audio files to get them all similar in terms of bandwidth and volume level. Especially useful for preparing audio CDs with files from different sources.

Glide is a library for using 3dfx hardware. This project will be the public repository for Glide.

Audio Compressor (command line) - Utility to be used for audio (dynamic) compression of WAV files. The process works as a real-time 2-band feedback sidechain compressor having threshold and knee optimized to match the best as possible to the full scale range. The "feedback speed" (attack), the "recovery speed" (release) as well as the maximum gain limit can be adjusted by the user. This compressor was designed to give a "FM style" output, making it suitable to prepare music tracks for listening in noisy environments (vehicles) or to modulate a LPFM transmitter.

GLIMPSE is a image manipulation package, developed for novice users.It supports file formats like BMP,PCX and TGA of various color depth. The striking feature of GLIMPSE is that it requires very less amount of resources, as it can be run even in DOS.

FOML is an expressive logic rule language that supports object modeling, analysis, and inference. It naturally supports model-level activities, such as constraints (extending UML diagrams), dynamic compositional modeling, analysis and reasoning about models, model testing, design pattern modeling, specification of Domain Specific Modeling Languages, and meta-modeling. FOML can reason about: 1. The model meta-data (meta-model level reasoning, or syntax reasoning) 2. Data level: reason about a model and its data (instance model, i.e., diagram) FOML is built as a semantic layer on top of PathLP - a compact logic rule language of guarded path expressions, an adaptation of a subset of F-logic.

Here is a c_version of Thomas Bleeker's pnglib 1.0, a free graphy library. His site is https://www.madwizard.org/programming/projects/pnglib Thomas's original code is x86-asm. She(the code) can read and display PNG images in programs, and link without Zlib. With the author's permission, Leisure bamboo translate her to c. So she can be compile by turbo c 2.0, borland c 4.5, visual c 6.0, keil c51 7.5, or others. Some(not all) plainform where she can run, as below: 1)dosbox, see about her in sample.tc2. dpmi.bc4; 2)window, see about her in sample.bc4, dpmi.bc4, sample.vc6; 3)c51's uv2 simulator, see about her in sample.uv2; 4)arm singlechip, that is cino f780 barcode scanner. She can decompress apng(Animated PNG) now, There are some demo file 01.png, 04.png ... 32.png in root folder. She is small(12k for vc6, 32bit code; 21k for bc4, 32bit code; 27k for tc2, 16bit code) and beautiful.

ANSiMat is a graphical viewer of ANSI art files. It can also be used to convert ANSI (or plain ASCII) files into regular (BMP, TGA, PCX...) graphic files, or into animations (FLC). Altough not initially designed for this, ANSiMat can be successfully used as an ASCII art viewer, or even simple text files viewer. ANSiMat is available for Linux, Windows and DOS. ANSiMat supports also modem emulation speed, therefore it can be used to display ANSI animations.
