NO LONGER MAINTAINED, NO LONGER SUPPORTED Xena transforms files into open data formats for long-term digital preservation, encodes content in Base64 and wraps in XML metadata. Formats supported include MBOX, PST, MSG, DOC, XLS, PPT, RTF, PNG, XML, PDF, JPG, TIFF, PCX, WAV, MP3 and more.

The RLE compression pack is a set of utilities to compress and decompress files using RLE algorithm.

XDAKit is a smart development kit for XML-based Document Archive. It offers some basic operations of XDA by C++ and Java, like Open, Create, AddFile, Close etc.

CADI is an implementation of the JPIP standard (JPEG2000 Interactive Protocol - Part 9). CADI includes a JPIP server, a JPIP proxy, and a JPIP Client. CADI is designed and programmed with the aim to provide a flexible framework to test and develop ne

TER implements the CCSDS Recommendation for Image Data Compression (CCSDS 122.0-B-1). TER also adds new features to the Recommendation. TER is designed and programmed with the aim to provide a good basis to test and develop the CCSDS Recommendation.

A set of tools (command line and GUI) to provide a complete digital photo workflow for Unixes. EXIF headers are used as the central information repository, so users may change their software at any time without loosing any data.

libarxx is a C++ archiver with advanced features, like data synchronization and merging of multiple archives. It provides an object-oriented view on a directory tree of data items and allows versioning, compressing and structuring in multiple ways.

This project has been moved to https://github.com/inikep/XWRT XWRT (XML-WRT) is a high-performance XML compressor (it also works with textual files). It transforms XML to more compressible form and uses zlib (default), LZMA, PPMd, or lpaq6 as back-end compressor. It is similar to XMill, but has many improvements.

AONS (Automated Obsolescence Notification System) notifies repository managers about formats within digital resources in their repositories and alerts them to potential problems relevant to obsolescence and long term usage.

Archive Buddy is a very easy-to-use open source GUI application for archive files (jar, zip, tar, gzip, ear, war). An explorer-type browsing capability with added functionality for in-place renaming, deleting, drag-n-drop from any file system. Go live date is 30 Mar 2012!

BWTC32Key is a program I wrote that compresses data, then optionally encrypts it, and then outputs a Base32768 representation as the final output

BNS - Burris Numerical System was written to store the last digit of a number in 3 dimensional space but store the rest of the number mathematically in the 4th dimension of space. The result is that no matter how long the number is you can write it down on a piece of paper and put it in your pocket. The software can be used to retrieve the number. This can be used to save computer files. The only limit with BNS is how much time the user has. The software nor the numerical system has no limits. The book on BNS is here https://www.createspace.com/4404221 The inventors websight is here: http://timetravelinstitute.biz

rrenc - reads all of files which are to be written into XCD, computes an array of redundant data (usual 16-bit Solomon-Reed code) and prepares paramfile for mode2cdmaker; rrdec - reads all of files (including redundant data) from XCD and writes them to your hard disk, computes the contents of damaged sectors and insert them into proper places.

Cairo (Complex Archive Ingest for Repository Objects) is a tool for processing digital archives prior to submitting them to archival storage for long-term preservation; among other features, this includes format identification and metadata extraction.

I DO NO LONGER CLAIM PLATFORM-INDEPEDENCE FOR Crème Fraiche. THIS PROGRAM RUNS ON LINUX. Crème Fraiche transforms EML-files, as they are created by email-clients, to PDF. PSE see the rubygems.org site for updates or use the gem-tool right away to install Crème Fraiche: ~$ gem install cremefraiche

This project provides an abstraction layer for archives. This project emerged from route64, and will provide a standalone archive manipulation tool for Eclipse. At first we focus on the folowing archives: zip, war, jar, ear, t64, d64, rar, tar.

LPML is the Linux Packaging Markup Language and is implemented with perl. LPML improves upon traditional fileglobbing schemes. Source repositories are rendered into RPMs, dpkgs, and many other methods of direct compilation and installation.

MessageReader is a java software that, given a Mail folder of a Symbian phone, takes all the sms messages (NOT (still) mms or anything else) and make a file in the unix mailbox format (suitable for e.g. kmail).

Monolith (lith) is a tiny, java-based embedded file-system like implementation. It allows you to store and retreive multiple sets of named data in a single file and access it without the speed costs typically associated with file archives.

It is possible to upload SMS text messages from a Nokia mobile phone to your PC using Nokia's connectivity suite. These messages are saved in a (useless) .vmg file format. Nokia SMS Reader will compile these files into an Excel sheet (sorted).

The OS561 operating system based around FORTH/Java. The OS is to run on a VHDL chip OpenHardware design called the Minon, but could become available for other platforms. The unique point of the design is a revolutionary data compression technology.
