Prized Season software

In your company you may have several servers working with sensitive data. Those servers are not separated physically from your employers.

They may even run Microsoft ugly software with a bunch of shared files you want accessible to everyone, like forms, etc.

In SOHOs (Small Office, Home Office) it is a common practice to share files with employers PCs, and you might need them all the time. To prevent the employer from shutting down your PC, or say, at home, to prevent children from shutting down your PC, you can use a feature from Windows, as long as your account does not have administrative rights.

It's there, on the picture: named "Shut down the system", under "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Local Policies", "User Rights".

Snippet: searching for your latest cpp code made...

The result shows epoch time, not really human readable, but the sense here is to search what are the latest 20 source code files you have changed in your disk...

[henrique@fuji gprog]$ find * -type f -name '*.cpp' -printf "%C@ %p\n" | sort -n | tail -20

You can see an highlight of libunicode-plus xpfweb-v2.8xtra here.
It was announced on December 2007 the stable version.

It contains gstrings and gnorm.

They allow to use the very basic mechanisms provided by libgobj., including the capability to use Unicode tables, named THB.

The difference beteen gstrings and strings is enormous:

• strings just sees words composed as 7bit regular characters;
  gstrings understands the ISO-8859-1 particularities, and is able to manage any western ASCII table; the default libunicode-plus default table /usr/share/unicodeplus/unicode256.thb
  suits ISO-8859-1, and other code pages can be arranged using guncoder (libunicode-plus).
  
  
• strings footprint is around 380 Kb, whilst gstrings occupies merely 19 Kb!
  

A simple example:

esta tool é fantástica;
notre commerce est étonnant.

This text provides the following output on strings:

strings a.txt
esta tool
fant
stica;
notre commerce est
tonnant.

whilst with gstrings you see the following:

gstrings a.txt
esta tool é fantástica;
notre commerce est étonnant.

Well, this is the expected result.



This extra package README is as follow:

strings gstrings is the strings version with Latin support
(by using libunicode facilities: refer to libgobj)

norm Several trivial file operations, including:
check: check files & dirs
du: disk usage
ddb: a very basic dd
stat: the stat command
sumv: sum algorithm (System V sum)
suma: an alterate (faster) sum algorithm
pwd: trivial pwd command
