NeXTStep/Openstep Software
NeXTStep/Openstep Software

Description:This is my little NeXTStep/Openstep page. Here I put some programs that I compiled, some of them need more test on some Architectures.

Other Developer programs are on http://utenti.lycos.it/zyx/index.html.

Feel free to download the programs, I ask you only a little:

Please send any comment, suggestion and report of bugs or working programs at mailto:zyx101@lycos.it

I'm very glad at everyone that want collaborate to increase the number of programs for NeXTStep and Openstep.

At the end of the page you can find some NeXTStep/Openstep Links.


The programs are divide into six sections:

Beta programs that are tested on some architectures
Program Last Updated Size MD5 Architectures OS Description Comment
bzip2-1.0.4.NIHS.b.tar.gz 2007-03-19 1.44 MB files.MD5 NIHS NeXTStep bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors. None.
file-3.41.NIHS.b.tar.gz 2004-01-19 0.396 MB files.MD5 NIHS NeXTStep File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests, magic number tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed. Need tre-0.5.1.
ha-0.999b.NIHS.b.tar.gz Not Avaible 0.162 MB files.MD5 NIHS NeXTStep HA is a small file archiver utility. It's main goal is to offer maximum compression without fancy addons. None.
libutf8-0.8.NIHS.b.tar.gz 2007-03-19 0.294 MB files.MD5 NIHS NeXTStep libutf8 provides UTF-8 locale support, for use on systems which don't have UTF-8 locales, or whose UTF-8 locales are unreasonably slow. None.
MD5.NIHS.bs.tar.gz Not Avaible 63.5 KB files.MD5 NIHS NeXTStep md5 takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest. The MD5 algorithm is intended for digital signature applications, where a large file must be "compressed" in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private (secret) key under a public-key cryptosystem such as _R_S_A. . None.
