- NNTP Buffer
- This Windows NT service implements a simple, personal, news
server. It is not appropriate for taking a full (or
anything like full) newsfeed, and should not be used to feed to any more
than the local users on a single Windows NT machine. It implements a
dynamic group downloading policy, where groups that are not read for a
while are dropped from the active set, and new groups requested are
added to it. It also operates in slurp mode, so your upstream sites must
be slurp-friendly.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/WinNT/nntpbuff.zip
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/WinNT/nntpbuff.zip.
- SMTP Buffer
- This is a Windows NT service that queues up messages sent to it via SMTP
while off-line, and sends them on to a server when on-line. It directly
forwards messages if on-line. It is useful for using mail agents that
don't queue outgoing mail, and also doesn't require you to start your
mail agent to send queued mail.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/WinNT/smtpbuff.zip
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/WinNT/smtpbuff.zip.
- Relay
- This is a program for debugging network software. It acts as a proxy for
a network service, and logs the data on the connection to a file. It can
also allow a telnet client to stand in for one end of a connection, so
you can send commands direct to the network service.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/WinNT/relay.zip
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/WinNT/relay.zip.
- Registry
- These are some programs for examining and modifying the Windows NT
registry. They allow you to dump the contents of registry keys in a
readable format, compare dumps against the current registry, and set
values and keys from registry dumps or diffs. Messing with the registry
can get you into severe problems and render your operating system
unbootable. Do not use these programs unless you are
know what you are doing, and are prepared to accept the consequences.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/WinNT/registry.zip
or

- Lpr
- These are RFC 1179 compatible lpr, lpq, and lprm clients. They should
work with Berkeley lpr, PLP and lprNG.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/WinNT/lpr.zip
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/WinNT/lpr.zip.
- Streams
- This is my C streams library, which is used as a basis for my NNTP and
SMTP services. It provides a unified interface onto file access,
sockets, and various buffering and parsing facilities.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/WinNT/streams.zip
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/WinNT/streams.zip.
- BDFtoFON
- This package consists of a simple program to convert BDF files into FNT
format, and makefiles and auxiliary scripts showing how to combine these
into FON files. This allows bitmapped fonts distributed in BDF format to
be used on Windows. It is the user's responsibility to ensure
that appropriate licenses for fonts allow format conversion and use on
Windows.
It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/bdftofon.tar.gz
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/bdftofon.tar.gz.
- XFer in C
- This is a re-write of Mark de Weger's XFer package for transferring
files between the BBC microcomputer and a PC. XFer in C requires a BBC
microcomputer with an RS423 interface, and a machine running Win32
(Windows 95/98/NT/2000) or Linux with a spare serial port. It transfers
the BBC's file attributes along with the files, and can also download
BBC discs as disc images. XFer in C has the advantage that it is
open-source.
It can be downloaded as a gzipped tar file from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/BBC/xferc.tar.gz
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/BBC/xferc.tar.gz,
or as a ZIP file from
ftp://ftp.knackered.org/pub/angus/BBC/xferc.zip
or
ftp://ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk/users/ajcd/BBC/xferc.zip.
Binaries for both x86 Linux and Win32 are provided in both archive
formats.
