Adalog Programs
Adalog is pleased to offer some general purpose programs that
we initially developed for our own purpose, but that we thought
could be useful to others. All these programs are freely
available, under the GPL or GMGPL (which is GPL, with the added bonus
that you can use any part of the code and incorporate it into
your programs even if they are propriatory).
All the programs are written in Ada. If you download them as
source, and you don't have an Ada compiler yet, you migh be
interested in our compiler page.
If you are already programming in Ada, you might be interested
by our components, utilities and
Adapplets.
SC_Timer
SC_Timer is a kind of count-down timer which is
especially
convenient for session chairs in conferences who need to manage
their speakers (see picture to the right). It offers a big white
count-down display that you
can make as big as your screen, for the speaker to see. It will
turn yellow -say- ten minutes before time is over, then turn red
five minutes before the end. When the presentation time is over,
it will display a big red flashing "Off".
Alternatively, the timer can be set to count up (from 0 to
programmed time) instead of down.
There is also a regular clock in the upper right corner
that
tells you the current time.

Of course, the program is really a general count-down timer,
and you can use it for all your count-down needs!

This utility allows to chose pages for printing from a
PostScript document. It permits printing only odd or even pages,
or a chosen range of pages.
The Ada program works in "command line" mode. A
provided interface in Tcl/Tk offers a prettier interface for
interactive mode. A documentation is available.
WinSettingChange
Under Windows, when you modify environment variables or other
settings, the change is generally not taken into account immediately;
quite often, you'll have to reboot for the change to take effect.
WinSettingChange is a small utility that broadcasts the
WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to all top-level windows, to notify that
something has changed in the global settings. Most of the time, this
will save you the burden of rebooting.
That's all for now, but more is to come. Stay tuned, come and
visit us every now and then !
