Mac HelpMate 3.0
If youre a Mac support professional or consultant, or just want to help your Mac run more smoothly you need this application in your arsenal of troubleshooting tools more>>
Mac HelpMate 3.0 is designed to help your Mac run more smoothly. It can replace (with a subscription) a whole bunch of expensive products, including Timbuktu, eCare, and many others... Mac HelpMate contains powerful diagnostic features, such as the ability to run SMART (S.M.A.R.T) tests, check temperature and hardware sensors, inspected installed packages, repair permissions, clean caches, remove trash files, ASR multicast server, support for Growl notifications and much much more.
Mac HelpMate remains a free and useful program, but can be enhanced with a Mac HelpMate Professional account subscription that enables zero-configuration screen sharing. Its sister products, also currently included with a subscription are: Mac HelpMate ZIRO, Win HelpMate to control Windows Computers, and Auto HelpMate which allows a subscriber to initiate a screen sharing session from a web page. Many consultants have asked over the last year months about personalized copies of Mac HelpMate and Win HelpMate for their customers as well as the ability to initiate screen sharing with no one logged into the computer, and I am happy to say it's now a reality - desktop control/screen sharing through firewalls with no extra router configuration. Help anyone, anywhere, even behind inside corporate networks. The client, user or customer just downloads a subscriber's personalized copy, shares their screen, and in less than 45 seconds, they can control the remote computer.
In recent tests, Mac HelpMate easily handled remote control of a system with two 30-inch Cinema Displays over a DSL connection. To share or control a Mac there's nothing to install on the client machine outside of Mac HelpMate itself (you can even run it off of the Disk Image) and no admin password is required to initiate sharing or control. An account subscription is needed for the remote control/application and branding to work as well as the email alerts over an alternate SMTP port so that people who have ISPs that block port 25 can still alert you.
Major Features:
- Mac HelpMate
- Zero-config screen sharing through firewalls and routers by invitation for unlimited client installations (no port forwarding)
- Mac HelpMate ZIRO (Zero Interaction Roll Out) for one-click screen sharing by emailed link or web site link with no preinstallation required

Vinco 1.1
Vinco - Trivia game with questions of increasing difficulty more>>
Vinco is a game in which you answer a series of 15 questions of increasing difficulty. The first five questions are very easy (to the point of laughter), but the last questions are extremely difficult.
Every question is multiple choice question with four possible answers. There are no tricks (like "none of the above"), just four straight-up choices, one of which is the correct answer.
Since you are not likely to know all 15 answers, you have three hint systems to help you along the way.
Enhancements:
- More questions
- Clarification to several questions
- Randomization of answer order (can be turned off)
- Per-question timer
- HUGE speed optimization for small external question sets when "Use only external questions" is enabled. Also a small memory usage improvement all-around.
- Cancel button in preferences
- Version history in the Help menu
- Distributed as a universal binary
- Question Database version (displayed at the bottom of the main menu). At some point in the future, development on Vinco will stop, but I hope to periodically update the questions. This will also be used by total conversions if/when theyre added.

TINKER 4.2
TINKER - Molecular modeling software more>>
The TINKER molecular modeling software is a complete and general package for molecular mechanics and dynamics, with some special features for biopolymers. TINKER has the ability to use any of several common parameter sets, such as Amber (ff94, ff96, ff98 and ff99), CHARMM (19 and 27), Allinger MM (MM2-1991 and MM3-2000), OPLS (OPLS-UA, OPLS-AA and OPLS-AA/L), Liam Dangs polarizable potentials, and our own AMOEBA polarizable atomic multipole force field. Parameter sets for other standard force fields such as GROMOS, UFF, ENCAD and MM4 are under consideration for future releases.
The TINKER package includes a variety of novel algorithms such as a new distance geometry metrization method that has greater speed and better sampling than standard methods, Elbers reaction path methods, several of our Potential Smoothing and Search (PSS) methods for global optimization, an efficient potential surface scanning procedure, a flexible implementation of atomic multipole-based electrostatics with explicit dipole polarizability, a selection of continuum solvation treatments including several variants of the generalized Born (GB/SA) model, an efficient truncated Newton (TNCG) local optimizer, surface areas and volumes with derivatives, a simple free energy perturbation facility, normal mode analysis, minimization in Cartesian, torsional or rigid body space, velocity Verlet stochastic dynamics, an improved spherical energy cutoff method, Particle Mesh Ewald summation for partial charges and regular Ewald for polarizable multipoles, a novel reaction field treatment of long range electrostatics, and more....

MODELLER 8v1
MODELLER - Comparative modeling of protein 3D structures more>>
MODELLER is used for homology or comparative modeling of protein three-dimensional structures. The user provides an alignment of a sequence to be modeled with known related structures and MODELLER automatically calculates a model containing all non-hydrogen atoms.
MODELLER implements comparative protein structure modeling by satisfaction of spatial restraints, and can perform many additional tasks, including de novo modeling of loops in protein structures, optimization of various models of protein structure with respect to a flexibly defined objective function, multiple alignment of protein sequences and/or structures, clustering, searching of sequence databases, comparison of protein structures, etc.
Note: In order to use the program you need to register first.
Enhancements:
- Removal of limits on the number of pseudo atoms, segments, the length of file names and most other strings, and the number of parameters in parameter files.
- Removal of the read_restyp() command. To read a user-defined residue type file, set restyp_lib_file when creating an environ object.
- Bug fix: the correct VDW radii (as selected by topology.submodel) are now used for PSA calculations (previously the all-hydrogen radii were used in all cases).
- Improved error handling: almost all errors should be recoverable now (using the standard Python exception handling mechanism) and incorrect input should trigger an error rather than causing Modeller to crash (please report any crashes as bugs to the developers).
- SALIGN bug fixes, improved binning of access classes.
- Modeller scripts are now more like real Python scripts; the PYTHONPATH environment variable is honored, and additional command line arguments can be given to your scripts (accessible as sys.argv).
- Bug fix for alignment.segment_matching(): correct alignment scores are now written.
- Support for AMD64 and EM64T (Opteron/Xeon64) Linux machines.
- DOPE model assessment now returns only the DOPE energy itself by default, ignoring other energy terms.
- Bug fix for model.restraints.pick() when used with absolute position restraints; always allow 1-atom restraints to pass the residue_span_range check.

COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS - Programs for high-level ab initio molecular electronic structure calculations more>>
COLUMBUS is a collection of programs for high-level ab initio molecular electronic structure calculations. The programs are designed primarily for extended multi-reference (MR) calculations on electronic ground and excited states of atoms and molecules.
An important feature of COLUMBUS is its flexibility. In addition to standard classes of reference wave functions, such as CAS or RAS, calculations can be performed with selected reference configurations. Though the multi-reference aspect of COLUMBUS is emphasized, single-reference calculations can also be carried out very efficiently.
Main features:
- SCF - closed-shell and restricted open-shell
- MCSCF - general MCSCF with quadratic convergence including state-averaging
- MR-CISD - direct CI for all single and double excitations from an arbitrary set of reference configurations
- MR-ACPF and MR-AQCC - modified MRCISD methods that include iterative size-extensivity corrections
- Analytic gradient for MCSCF, MR-CISD, MR-ACPF and MR-AQCC
- Analytic MR-CISD nonadiabatic coupling vector
- Automatic geometry optimization and saddle-point searches
- Automatic searches for minima on the crossing seam (conical intersections)
- Spin/orbit CI
- A massively-parallel version of the MR-CISD, MR-AQCC and respective two-electron density program sections.
Enhancements:
- Analytic MR-CISD/AQCC gradient for excited states based on state-averaged MCSCF calculations
- Analytic MR-CISD nonadiabatic coupling vector
- Automatic searches for minima and saddle points in excited states
- Automatic searches for minima on the crossing seam (conical intersections)
- Integration of the GUGA spin-orbit CI program (still in test phase)
- A massively parallel CI and two-electron density code
- Enhanced user interface including visualization features via MOLDEN.

BinkMachOPlayer 1.8b
BinkMachOPlayer - Play Bink files more>>
Bink is a "better-than-DVD" class codec - it compresses at higher quality than DVD at up to three times the playback speed! Bink uses up to 16 MB less memory at runtime than other codecs. It has been licensed for over 2,500 games since 1999!
Bink is a hybrid block-transform and wavelet codec that can encode your video using 16 different compression techniques (wavelet, DCT, motion compensation, a variety of vector quantizers, Smacker-style, etc). With all of these techniques in one codec, Bink can handle any type of video.
Bink also has a VBR psycho-acoustic based audio codec that is capable of 8:1 up to 20:1 perceptually lossless compression, so your audio will sound as good as your video looks. Other video codecs force you to license a separate audio encoder, but Bink has one built right in!
Another nice feature of Bink is that its technology was completely independently developed. We are not based on any MPEG or other committee standards (our techniques are quite different, in fact) of any kind, so the IP is safe, encumbrance-free, and (best of all) entirely royalty free. Thats why we develop our own codecs (both video and audio) - we dont want to be hindered by any third parties who see games as a side market rather than the target market. RAD has been developing video codecs for games since 1992 - our software codecs were being used before MPEG could even be played on a PC without a hardware decoder card.
The other big reason that we develop our own codec technology is because general video codecs are just not designed for games. They are designed to play movies in a nice little media player sandbox on a PC with little else going on. They use a ton of memory (Bink uses up to 16 MB less than other codecs), and they use almost all of the CPU. Bink is designed just for games - we arent trying to be a media player for the masses, or get integrated into some set top box, or stream video off the internet. Our only goal is great looking, easy to use, high performance video for your games.
The Bink SDK supports the Nintendo DS, the Xbox 360 and the Xbox consoles (using pixel shaders!), the Sony PlayStation 2 console, all versions of 32-bit Windows, the Xbox console, the Nintendo GameCube console, MacOS, MacOS X and GNU/Linux. It supports pixel shaders, DirectDraw, DIBSections, DirectSound, waveOut, Sound Manager, NGC AX, NGC MusyX, SDL_mixer, and the Miles Sound System.
Bink uses the YUV colorspace, so it can use overlays for hardware color conversion and smooth scaling on Win32 and Nintendo GameCube. On platforms with pixel shader support (DirectX 9, Xbox, and Xbox 360), Bink can use the GPU to do incredibly fast and incredibly high quality YUV to RGB conversions. Bink also includes a ton of hand-optimized assembly YUV to RGB colorspace blitters, so youll be able to access Binks output in any RGB format you like (32-bit RGB, 24-bit RGB, 16-bit RGB, etc).
As far as data rate goes, Bink really doesnt have a minimum - 256x192 animations look great at 50 kps for Nintendo DS and 1280x720s look awesome at 900 kps on Xbox and Xbox 360 for HD video. Bink is so fast, that it works great for the low-end, like the DS, and for the high-end, like the Xbox 360.
For such a high-end codec, Bink requires very little hardware resources - it will run on a machine as slow as a Nintendo DS (67 Mhz!), and will be screamingly fast on a modern P3, P4 or Athlon. Any Macintosh shipped in the last 10 years will run Bink great. All of the modern consoles can handle Bink easily (even the slow-ish PS/2 for which weve done massive assembly optimization to get Bink running wonderfully).
Because Bink is pretty different from other codecs, weve put together information describing the advantages of using Bink. You can even view the entire Bink development history to see the complete evolution of Bink. Finally, you can check out what other Bink customers think.
Think Bink!
Enhancements:
- Added support for the beta Xbox 360 hardware (June XDK).
- Fixed 8-bit audio playback on Nintendo DS - we still recommend using 16-bit audio, though.

SAGE is a tool designed to help you studying a huge range of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and exact linear algebra.
SAGE makes it easy for you to use most mathematics software together. SAGE includes interfaces to Magma, Mathematica, MATLAB, and MuPAD, and the free programs Axiom, GAP, GP/PARI, Macaulay2, Maxima, Octave, and Singular.
You work with SAGE using the highly regarded scripting language Python instead of an obscure language designed for a particular mathematics program. You can write programs that combine serious mathematics with anything else.
Use SAGE from your web browser, which connects either to a program running on your computer, or a program running elsewhere. With the SAGE notebook you can create embedded graphics, beautifully typeset mathematical expressions, add and delete input, and start up and interrupt multiple calculations.
Enhancements:
- r bradshaw: very very fast sagex new implementation of graph plotting code.
- t boothby: added compression of javascript so notebook loads more quickly.
- r miller: optimization to graph automorphism code
- k minola and m albrecht: build fixes to linbox and sage_c_lib.
- y qiang: transitioned dsage to use sqlite; many minor bugfixes
- w stein: wrote a MuPAD interface for SAGE.
- w stein: added restore and reset commands to SAGE, to (mostly) reset the state of SAGE and all interfaces very very quickly without having to quit and restart SAGE.
- w stein: p-adic L-series (numerous improvements)
- c witty (referee by r bradshaw): improvements to floating point rational conversions.

apfloat Lib 2.41
apfloat Lib - High performante arithmetic library more>>
Apfloat is a C++ arbitrary precision arithmetic package. Multiplications are done using Fast Fourier Transforms for O(n log n) complexity. The transforms are done as Number Theoretic Transforms to avoid round-off problems.
Three different moduli are used for optimal memory usage. The final result is achieved using the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The algorithms are optimized for very high precision (more than 100 000 digits). The package is written to be easily portable, but also includes assembler optimization in critical parts for various processors for maximum performance.
Completly freeware for non-commercial use.

Devwex 1.2006.0415
Devwex is a widely configurable Java based Webserver for the command line (command shell) more>>
Devwex is a widely configurable Java based Webserver for the command line (command shell). The Java binary supports virtual hosts, IP/Port Sharing, Remote Access/Control, Directory Index, Multithread, Filtering, Modules, DCGI/CGI1.1, SSL/TLS and more.
virtual Hosts - Devwex supports virtual hosts for IP/Port sharing.
IP/Port sharing - Due to the global declaration of virtual hosts in the configuration file all virtual hosts can be used by all physical hosts, which make the virtual hosts available to different IP addresses and ports.
Remote Access - Devwex allows a free configurable remote access for state requests, restart and stop commands.
Directory Index - System directories are automatically accessible as navigable HTML documents. Templates for this service can be individually designed for all physical and virtual hosts.
Multithread - Devwex supports the configuration of multiple independent physical and virtual hosts. Furthermore applicable is the inheritance of specific host configurations.
Filtering - Accesses to physical and virtual hosts can be controlled by individually defined rules.
Modules - Functionality can be added, expanded or changed by external components with the help of the integrated modularconcept of the server.
HTTP - Based on specifications for HTTP 1.0 Devwex supports GET, POST, HEAD, PUT and DELETE. Further methods can be provided by additional modules and by DCGI or CGI. A response supports server status 200, 201, 300, 302, 304, 400, 401, 403, 404, 405, 406, 411, 424, 500 and 503. This can be modified or expanded by provided interfaces.
SSL - For secure data transfers Devwex supports Secure Socket Layer - SSL and Transport Layer Security - TLS. The certificate assignment can be handled for every physical host, in groups by inheritance or globally.
DCGI - DCGI has been especially developed for Devwex. DCGI is derived from CGI 1.1 and supplies the Webserver with an open interface to different programming languages such as Java, VB, VB(A) and more.
CGI - Devwex supports the Common Gateway Interface specification 1.1 including PHP, Perl, Phyton and more.
Enhancements:
- some bugfixings, changes and extension
- optimization in performance, functions, size and error handling/output.
