dvdisaster provides a margin of safety against data loss on CD and DVD media
caused by aging or scratches.
* dvdisaster creates error correction data to compensate read errors which
are not correctable in the CD/DVD drive.
* dvdisaster tries to read as much data as possible from defective media.
Afterwards unreadable sectors are recovered using the previously created
error correction data. The maximum error correction capacity is
user-selectable.
* dvdisaster operates at the image level and does not depend on the file
system.
If you create the error correction data in time and keep it at a safe place,
you have a good chance of recovering the medium contents from typical read
errors and to transfer your complete data onto a new medium.

in the same manner as the network neighborhood in Microsoft Windows.
Featuries:
* you can use Samba/Microsoft network as a regular unix filesystem
* workgroup/computer/share entries are dynamically created
* windows domain supported
* kerberos support (New)
* user defined workgroup/link/hosts are supported
* national character supported
* in config files you can specify different user/password to access
different network shares
* you can access any computer in the world by "cd mountpoint/ip-addr"
command, where "ip-addr" is the IP address of the desired computer. Do
not warry that there is no file with such name :-)
* command "cd mountpoint/username:password@computer_or_ip" allows
you to access "computer_or_ip" as user "username" with password
"password" (this is insecure, but usefull)

The utility DirComp compares two directories (and - if specified - their
subdirectories), where the comparison can be done both by existence and
by date (of change) or contents. This comparison can be limited to
certain files and and/directories matching specified name- or time-of-
change restrictions.

Renames files in a proper English title format: prepositions, conjunctions,
and articles (<5 letters) are in lowercase unless they are the first or
last word in the title; all others begin with uppercase. Can use id3v2 to

on single systems and clusters of systems. It is a command-line
based tool that grew out of the UNIX world and has been ported to
run in Windows environments as well. It is designed to provide
consistent and reproducible performance measurements of disk I/O
traffic. There are three basic components to xdd that include the
xdd program itself, a timeserver program, and a gettime program.
The timeserver and gettime programs are used to synchronize the
clocks of xdd programs simultaneously running across multiple
computer systems.

Unieject is a drop-in replacement for usual eject command, which works
on Linux and FreeBSD. It has more functionalities than FreeBSD's eject
command, and it's partially compatible with Linux's one.
It also features a library to access functions to lookup devices and
mountpoints, unmount and eject devices.

OpenBsd-Ports, PkgSrc and maybe others.
You can browse and search through your Portstree and perform actions
like Upgrades, Installs, Uninstall a.s.o. More advanced features like
setting Options and Vulnerability checking are also available. For a
complete list, check the Homepage or the Changelog.
Functionality is KPorts' main goal, not simplification by reducing
options; however KPorts should be rather easy to use.

Sys::Filesystem is intended to be a portable interface to list and query
filesystem names and their properties. At the time of writing there were
only Solaris and Win32 modules available on CPAN to perform this kind of
operation. This module hopes to provide a consistant API to list all,
mounted, unmounted and special filesystems on a system, and query as
many properties as possible with common aliases wherever possible.
