LUA
version: 4.0.1

PUC-Rio TeCGraf

LUA v4.0.1
Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending
applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone
language. Lua is free software.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description
constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is
dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory
management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration,
scripting, and rapid prototyping.
A fundamental concept in the design of Lua is to provide meta-mechanisms for
implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly in
the language. For example, although Lua is not a pure object-oriented
language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for implementing classes and
inheritance. Lua's meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the
language small, while allowing the semantics to be extended in
unconventional ways. Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of
Lua.
Lua is a language engine that you can embed into your application. This
means that, besides syntax and semantics, Lua has an API that allows the
application to exchange data with Lua programs and also to extend Lua with C
functions. In this sense, Lua can be regarded as a language framework for
building domain-specific languages.
Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and
compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are
simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost. The result is a
fast language engine with small footprint, making it ideal in embedded
systems too.
Lua is freely available and can be used for both academic and commercial
purposes at absolutely no cost
Precompiled binaries for the current version are available for Unix and
Windows. There are also user-contributed binaries for the Macintosh, Acorn
RISC OS, EPOC, and BeOS.

Simutrans -v0.78.9
an Economic and Transport Simulation Game 
Simutrans is a transport and economical simulation game. There are versions for Linux, BeOS and Windows available. Simutrans has not yet reached production state, but it is quite possible to build big transport networks between the industries and cities. 
The player can create bus and rail connections and transport passengers, mail and goods in and between cities and industries. Even passenger ferries and oil tankers are included in the game. Goods are produced by industries from raw materials, sometimes over many steps of intermediate products. I.e. coal and iron ore are needed to produce steel in a steel mill. Oil may be transformed to plastics in a refinery. Plastics and steel are used to build cars by the car industry. Finally the cars are sold in the cities. Now they need gas to run, which also will be produced at the refinery. 
All goods need to be transported. This is the players task. Transport the goods and let the industry live up. But be careful not to destroy your environments. 
The games interface language can be switched between Dutch, English, German, French, Finnish, Hungarian and Spanish by a menu. 
Requirements: Pentium 200Mhz or better, 16 MB Ram, 4 MB free space on HD, 8 Bit SVGA graphics or better

VIM

VIM
version: 

Sven Guckes
guckes@vim.org
http://www.vim.org/

VIM (Vi IMproved)
VIM is an improved version of the editor "vi", one of the standard text
editors on UNIX systems.
VIM adds many of the features that you would expect in an editor: Unlimited
undo, syntax coloring, split windows, visual selection, graphical user
interface (read: menus, mouse control, scrollbars, text selection), and much
much more.
VIM runs on many operating systems: AmigaOS, AtariMiNT, BeOS, DOS, MacOS,
MachTen, OS/2, RiscOS, VMS, and Windows (95/98/NT4/NT5/2000) and, of course,
on UNIX in a lot of flavours
For those who use Windows - you can use Vim as your editor in other
programs, eg many users already use Vim as their editor within VisualStudio.
Vim comes in two parts: One archive holds the program (either as source or
binary/executable), and another archive holds the runtime files with the
documentation and syntax files. This allows you to update Vim as a program
without having to download the latest documentation.

XAudio SDK

2000.09.15.

XAUDIO SDK
version: 

Xaudio SDK
The Xaudio SDK is our main product.
The Xaudio SDK is a very powerfull Software Development Tookit that allows
all programmers to add MP3 playback support directly in their applications
with very little effort.
Xaudio provides the most robust and fastest MP3 engine impementation on all
platforms, and is currently being used by hundreds of thousands of people
around the world.
The main features of the Xaudio SDK are:
Very fast: the fastest commercial MP3 decoding library in the world, up to
twice or three times faster than some other implementations.
Very Robust: the library has been very stable for almost 2 years, and is
very resilient to bad streams, errors, etc... It never crashes !
Supports all formats: the library will decode MPEG Audio Layers 1, 2 and 3
(MP1, MP2 and MP3), at all bitrates and frequencies as well as MPEG 2.5
extension bitstreams (lower sampling rates).
Same API on all platforms: develop your application only once, the exact
same API is used on Windows, Unix, Macintosh, BeOS, etc...
Fully re-entrant: the library can decode multiple streams in several threads
at the same time
Very modular: the SDK supports custom Input and Output plugin modules that
can be added on the fly by the client applications, as well as Input and
Output Filters.
Full Featured: the SDK comes with a lot of builtin input and output modules
ready to be used (HTTP, UDP and FTP network streaming, Windows WAVE or
DirectSound output modules, file output modules, etc...)
Extremely portable: the SDK runs on x86, Alpha, MIPS, HPPA, ARM, PowerPC,
Sparc, SH3 and other processors
Supports Integer Decode: a special integer-decode mode allows fast realtime
decoding even on CPUs without a floating point co-processor.
Flexible API: the SDK's API support both a high-level approach, with the
decoder running by itself in a separate thread/process, controlled via
messages, or a low-level synchronous decoding approach with precise control
over the decoding process and direct access to the bitstream and decoded
samples.
The SDK can be used from a variety of programming languages:
C, C++, Delphi , Visual Basic, Java,  Scripting languages (Perl, Python,
etc...)
The SDK is free for individual use, and can be licensed for commercial
distribution.
The following platforms are supported:
Windows95/98/NT
Windows CE
Macintosh
Linux (x86, PowerPC, Alpha and ARM)
FreeBSD
Solaris (Sparc and x86)
Irix (5.3 and 6.x)
Digital Unix for Alpha (4.0)
BeOS
SCO OpenServer
AIX 4.x
