Windows XP+/32 bit native port of GNU Midnight Commander, based on the current 4.8.33 development stream. Midnight Commander (also known as mc) is a free cross-platform orthodox file manager and a clone of Norton Commander. Supports both the recent Windows 10 enhanced plus legacy consoles, 16 and 256+ colour modes are available within either. Features include the ability work with common archive formats as if they were simply another directory, and function as an SFTP/FTP client. Also includes an built-in editor/viewer, features include syntax highlighting for many languages, macros, code snippets, simple integration with external tools, automatic indentation, mouse support, clipboard and the ability to work in both ASCII and hex modes. MC can also rename groups of files, move files to a different directory at the same time as it.renames them. It lets the user specify the original and resulting file names using wildcard. https://github.com/adamyg/mcwin32

jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice, filter, map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text. jq is written in portable C, and it has zero runtime dependencies. You can download a single binary, scp it to a far away machine of the same type, and expect it to work. jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you'd expect. Data in jq is represented as streams of JSON values - every jq expression runs for each value in its input stream, and can produce any number of values to its output stream. jq filters run on a stream of JSON data. The input to jq is parsed as a sequence of whitespace-separated JSON values which are passed through the provided filter one at a time. The output(s) of the filter are written to standard out, again as a sequence of whitespace-separated JSON data.

This command line utility is a codepage converter to be used to change the character encoding of text. It fully supports charsets such as ANSI code pages, UTF-8, UTF-16 LE/BE, UTF-32 LE/BE, and EBCDIC. It's designed to convert big text files, too. It runs on Windows XP onwards (tested on XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11). The "readme.txt" file and the Wiki gives you some more information. You'll find the compiled tool for 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64) Windows in the "bin" directory. The C source code is available in the "src" directory. Just click on the "Files" tab.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This project has moved to Github: https://github.com/pkozelka/libxml2-pas Pascal units accessing the popular XML API from Daniel Veillard ( http://www.xmlsoft.org ). This should be usable at least from Kylix and Delphi, but hopefully also from other Pascal compilers (like freepascal).

The converter performs automatically the full process of converting the files of a C project into the equivalent C++ files. Classes are created, var and functions becomes attributes and methods and the changes are propagated into all files.

An alternative to the string library for C and C++ which is more functional and does not have buffer overflow problems.
