I'd like to announce some new opensource offerings on
http://opensource.franz.com, that have been in the works for some time:
The first two are Windows specific, but the last two are not platform
dependent.
http://opensource.franz.com/nfs/index.html
An NFS server for Windows. Our network manager, who had dabbled
only a little in Lisp before authoring this, wrote it in a couple
of weeks. We had previously used an off-the-shelf NFS server for
Windows, but were very unhappy with it--we had wasted lots of time
fiddling with it and Windows (NT, then 2000), probably more than it
took to implement it in Lisp. The performance of this Lisp version
in serving large numbers of small and medium size files is better
than the version we used before (which we assume was written in C).
I use this server on a daily basis. It rocks, completely.
http://opensource.franz.com/ntservice/index.html
Allows creation of an NT service out of a Lisp app. Used by the
NFS server above.
http://opensource.franz.com/ans/index.html
A CL-based DNS server. (ACL already comes with a DNS client.)
http://opensource.franz.com/uri/index.html
ACL's URI implementation, including test suite.
Of course, there are other opensource projects on the main page,
http://opensource.franz.com, but I just wanted to point out the above
new projects.
There is a new, informal community support and development mailing
list, ··········@franz.com, for discussing these open source
projects. We encourage you to take advantage by subscribing to the
list (by going to http://opensource.franz.com/mailinglist.html).
Only subscribers can post, an anti-spam measure.
