Description: BeBar shows the icons of running apps on a bar making their main menus easily accessible (idea: Jon Ragnarson). The main menu of the BeBar itself provides access to system preferences (all apps from /boot/preferences) and to apps which have been quitted recently. BeBar can display information about an icon on the bar in an info window on either a COMMAND-click or a third button click. Quitting/killing is possible from these info windows. Other applications may request space on the BeBar to display small bitmaps on the bar (e.g. a clock). This is achieved through exchanging BMessages. It contains source code for a wrapper class to do this more easily and demonstrates its use by three examples in the BeBar package: a Clock, a Pulse and a Memory module, of course :-). You can drop browser items on the icons just like you would drop an item on the respective app's icon in the browser. Dropping items on the BeBar icon puts them in a submenu called "Useful Items" in BeBar's main menu. Position, recent apps and background bar are now remembered at the next launch. The bar can alternatively grow to the right or left.

Description: BeBench tests the graphics performance of the BeOS. It tests every single benchmark at least 10 seconds to produce reliable results. Every test results in a value given in MPixels/s and at the end a (totally meaningless) value is calculated in the (also meaningless) unit Be-Marks. You can use BeBench to compare the performance of different graphic cards under BeOS. Maybe later some other tests like memory performance, disk i/o, cpu performance will be added, but only if they make any sense at all. New in 0.6: Fixed bug in filled rectangle mark calculation and changed filled rectangle and pattern fill to produce more reliable results.

This was a project to learn the database and compensate for my lack of the wonderful things in physical form. If I'm feeling really bored/creative, I may in a future release allow one to enter a speical doodle mode where you can actually draw on the note like everyone does in RL.

Description: Bzip is a Gzip replacement and has the same command-line arguments. Although it compresses files much better than Gzip it also requires more time to do so. Decompression is typically much faster than compression and, once GCC is available, its optimizations should make this compression utility much faster than with MWCC's optimizations. Bzip compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler-Fenwick block-sorting text compression algorithm. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and competitive with all but the best of the PPM family of statistical compressors. I only ported this package to the BeBox so please direct your comments and questions to the original author Julian Seward at: sewardj@cs.man.ac.uk or visit his home page at http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/arch/people/j-seward/index.html

Description: This application simply exports a replicant that displays a picture. Its primary purpose is to let you put pictures on your desktop to brighten up the flat color. For now, it just looks for a file named DesktopImage in the B_USER_CONFIG_DIRECTORY. It uses Jon Watte's DataTypes library, and can therefore load anything for which you have a handler installed. If you put a big picture on your desktop, it will be difficult to get at your drives and trash; replicants draw in front of desktop icons. Source is included, and it can probably be compiled for AA if you want it. 1.01 represents a couple of changes which are essentially aesthetic, and includes some documentation.

Description: GlobalStat is a server. It doesn't do any stats analysis. Its clients send streams of data, that are displayed by GlobalStat in a highly configurable GUI. But GlobalStat doesn't do the display itself: it uses add-ons, and the user chooses which add-on to use with which client. For example there may be add-ons for bars, graphs, or anything more complex. The idea is to make the data and its display independant. There are also networking capabilities... and more things; if you're interested, read the doc (but this is only version 0.9)

It's a pretty simple-minded app. Just drop often-used items (file, folder, app, you name it) onto LaunchPad, and launching/opening them is now just a double-click away. Several changes from the previous version include vertical/horizontal pane arrangement, somewhat better icon retrieving (thanks to BNodeInfo::GetTrackerIcon :-) LaunchPad is libprefs compliant.

Description: Port of PGP 2.6.2 for the BeBox. Actually, Not. =) Its just a patcher that handles changes so that the official pgp 2.6.2 code works on a BeBox. (can't include full PGP source without regulating ability to export.) You'll have to get the source on your own... but the location is given in the archive. A short script makes the patch almost painless. Note: If you are not physically located in the United States, use the PGP2.6.3i port which is located at http://www.hut.fi/~oahvenla/Be. Its much faster and has fewer hacks to get things to work. However, 2.6.3i is illegal in the United States. (Don't say I didn't tell you so.)
