Mark's Software

These packages currently run under Linux and come with full source code.

• Symbol Table Library
  This library allows a program to export variables to be accessable to the user, allows passing data over a network connection, and allows saving data to files in a format which is both human and machine readable and restoring it.
• Child Process Library
  This library allows a program to spawn a number of child processes such as preforked web server processes. A safer and more flexible replacement for system() and pipe() is also included.
• manyterm
  This program allows more than one terminal (telnet session) to share a single process (such as a shell).
• Stepper Motor Driver
  I have written a 3 axis stepper motor driver, imlemented as a loadable kernel module.
• A driver for the CoStar LabelWriter XL and compatible label printers.
• A device driver for the DAS1600 data acquisition card.
• srec9s12 is a srecord conversion and download utility for the MC9S12DP256 microcontroller.
• annotate_gschem is a program to annotate (number/renumber component REFDES) schematics from the gschem package.
• gschem2xpcb is a program to create a new xpcb circuit board from a gschem schematic.with the component footprints neatly arranged outside the board margins.
• fix_soldermask is a program to fix the soldermask on a PCB board drawn using xpcb.
• GDB patches to support D-Bug12 based BDM pods for the MC9S12DP256 and similar micros.

More documentation on some of these packages can be found in the book, Linux Programming Unleashed, which I coauthored with Kurt Wall and Mark Watson.
