JBIG-KIT implements JBIG1, a highly effective data compression
algorithm for bi-level high-resolution images such as fax pages
or scanned documents.

JBIG-KIT provides two variants of a portable library of compression
and decompression functions with a documented interface. You can very
easily include into your image or document processing software. In
addition, JBIG-KIT provides ready-to-use compression and decompression
programs with a simple command line interface (similar to the
converters found in Jef Poskanzer's PBM graphics file conversion
package).

Major new feature in version 2.0:

light-weight, low-memory, streaming T.85-profile implementation

The JBIG-KIT 1.x implementation was designed to be feature-rich. It
implemented most facilities of the standard, in particular progressive
coding (multiple resolution layers). To offer this flexibility, the
library has to keep the entire uncompressed image in memory during
processing. Many JBIG1 users use only a much simpler subset of the
standard that was defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.85 for use in
black/white (1 bit/pixel) fax machines. For those users, the new
release 2.0 of JBIG-KIT offers -- in addition to the existing
full-featured library -- also a new light-weight jbig85.c library that
supports *only* the T.85 subset of the standard, that leaves
memory allocation entirely to the caller, and that requires only three
lines of the image to reside in memory at any time. It is particularly
suited for low-memory footprint implementations in embedded systems
and for applications that need to process images larger than the
available memory. The new jbig85.c library also handles the VLENGTH
option and NEWLEN marker segments more easily and in a single pass.

Dear all
I was Eric's friend for many years and his partner in the early, pre-
ITS days of his efforts. Partner is perhaps not as appropriate a word
as apprentice. Eric was a brilliant man, generous to a fault and my
good friend who was always there when anyone needed him. When I had
no office space and a contract to fulfill, Eric let me use the
apartment on Montague and his computers there (remember this was
before we all had internet access, etc) to use so that I could meet my
business obligations and feed my family.
For many months, he took me to the track with him to teach me about
handicapping and his early vision. While it was not for me, and I
moved on to other things, I always appreciated his quest for a deep
understanding of the handicapping world and his devotion to
constructing a methodology based on science rather than mass
hysteria. His company's later success was all due to the many years
that he spent on research and development, which I witnessed first
hand.
First, I want to let everyone know what a good man Eric was. My
family was very sad to come across the story of his death and feel
that the world is far less without Eric in it. Secondly, regarding
Mr. Pizzolla, I knew him briefly as well as and can state that he had
very little if any knowledge or ability to contribute to the
methodology or product aside from perhaps a marketing perspective.
Among Michael's careers is that of a stage magician and his talent for
misdirection and illusion pervades every aspect of his life.
Yours,
---Raymond Blum

PDF3D-SDK Version 1.5.0 includes an application architecture for
conversion of 3D files, new Linux and Visual Studio 2008 support,
multi-format image loading and many technical improvements in PDF3D
document generation.

PDF3D technology enables publishing interactive 3D PDF documents,
harnessing the free Adobe PDF Reader.
A new file conversion application and development tool architecture
converts 3D models from 3DS, STL, VRML, IV formats to 3D PDF.
In a significant advance, several Linux platforms
are now supported including Red Hat Enterprise and Ubuntu, along with
the latest Visual Studio 2008 suite from Microsoft.
A new image file loader supports embedding
TIFF, JPEG, PNG and BMP images in both the 2D and 3D PDF layers.
This release from Visual Technology Services further empowers knowledge
transfer and collaborative sharing of 3D technical analysis to teams
across the enterprise through standard PDF documents.

PDF3D SDK version 1.5.0 includes the following new features:
* Red Hat Enterprise version 3.9 and Ubuntu 7.10 are now supported for
C++ software development enabling 3D PDF generation. Developers may now
integrate PDF3D into their own Linux applications, add their own user
interfaces, or create command-line conversion services.
* A new unified 3D file conversion architecture streamlines and supports
a number of interface types, where the PDF3D-SDK library services take
care of most of the common functions. A new interactive application is
supplied with the tool kit on Windows, allowing users to experiment with
3D PDF file generation.

* Image File loading from JPEG, PNG, BMP and TIFF format images may now
be loaded directly from file, using PDF3DImageLoader class. Visual
quality of texture images is enhanced by the addition of alpha-blending,
enabling complex variable transparency on 3D objects, taking full
advantage of hardware graphics features for displaying textures. Images
may also be place on the PDF page, supporting logos, legends, or
photographs.

* For users wishing to make presentations, a new component is included
allowing 3D PDF interactive documents to be shown within a live
PowerPoint presentation, along with a sample of such a presentation.

PDF3D SDK 1.5.0 is used by scientists, engineers, researchers and
software vendors to enable improved communication through the PDF
standard, with immediate availability. The release comes with a complete
suite of interfaces, ready-to-use applications, source code examples,
and full documentation. PDF3D-SDK is available for OEM/ISV integration
within commercial products and server deployment.

xmds is the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator and is a code
generator that integrates equations. You write them down in human
readable form in a XML file, and it goes away and writes and compiles
a C++ program that integrates those equations as fast as it can
possibly be done in your architecture. Simulations created with xmds
are able to be automatically parallelised and use MPI or OpenMP to
run your simulations in a parallel computing environment. xmds also
features the ability to output its simulation data in various
visualisation packages: Matlab, Octave, Mathematica and Gnuplot.

New features / changes since last release:

* Various bug fixes - new no known bug status
* Superior treatment of extreme cases in adaptive algorithms
* Simulation can halt if the solution goes non-finite.
Put this in the appropriate integration element:
yes
* Cross-propagation is now 4th order for RK4 algorithms
* Patches to fix compiler warnings (and potential issues, and the
removal of superfluous files courtesy of Rafael Laboissiere.
* ChangeLog format altered to give a better summary of changes
* Reconfigured the location of where some files are installed,
specifically loadxsil.m, ancillary files like README and the
example
files are all installed under the equivalent of /usr/share/doc/
xmds.
* Automatic plotting of simulation output is now possible with the -p
(a.k.a. --plot) command line argument to xsil2graphics. This is
only
possible with Matlab/Octave at present.
* One can now specify the desired XSIL output filename at the command
line when one calls the simulation program. Just use the
-o (--outfilename) argument and supply the desired filename.

Many thanks to those who made this release possible!

Where to get xmds:
* Debian-based distributions: apt-get install xmds
* FreeBSD: portupgrade -N xmds
* Source tarball: http://www.xmds.org and/or http://xmds.sourceforge.net

Questions / comments / problems:
* mailing list: xmds-user @ lists.sourceforge.net
* wiki: http://xmds.wiki.sourceforge.net/

Would you like to help out? Great! Anything you can do to help out
would be fantastic! E.g.:

* submit your xmds scripts to share with others and show what
problems
can be solve with xmds
* run xmds on a system we don't have access to (e.g. Minix, Solaris,
mingw32, HP/UX)
* tell us if you were able to build xmds or not; the people on the
xmds-user mailing list are only too happy to help
* ask about how to solve your problems in physics, chemistry,
economics
or whatever with xmds
* package releases of xmds; it helps many people if they can just use
their standard package manager to download the software, so if you
have experience with packing software on your platform, please,
submit such a package. If you find problems when packaging,
then just ask!

Code 500 is a division within Goddard Spaceflight Center.

My guess is that a trajectory format would be associated with the
Flight Dynamics Facility (FDF). I've never heard of such a format
myself (I work in a different Code NNN), but you may be able to
inquire with FDF, based on their contact page at fdf.gsfc.nasa.gov.

Good luck!
