Adam Jenkins' Home Page

I don't have a real homepage with personal info about myself and all. The main purpose of this page is to make some programs that I've written available to anyone.

• Othello. A computer othello player I wrote in the summer of 1997. It's written in Objective Caml, a functional programming language. It has only been tested on Linux, but should work on any platform that O'Caml is available for.
• EPScan. A scanner driver and GUI for X-Windows on Linux, for Epson scanners.
• A COM automation wrapper around the GNU regex library. Provides regular expressions to any language that can load automation objects. In particular, this means Visual Basic, VBA, and VB Script. I wrote this because I missed the power of emacs lisp for writing macros for Visual Studio. Just adding regular expressions helps a lot.
• XTalk. A talk client for X-Windows, written in Python. Should run on any platform that Python supports.
• JTalk. Another talk client, written in Java. Needs at least JDK or JRE 1.4.
• lsmsearch. A perl script for searching the Linux Software Map (LSM). Allows searches by keyword, title, description, or whole record.
• Simple Proxy. A generic proxy server for protocols that use a TCP/IP stream socket connection with a server, such as NNTP or POP3. Requires Perl. I wrote it because my ISP doesn't allow connections to their NNTP server from outside their domain, but I wanted to read news from work. I can just run this proxy server from my shell account, then set my newsreader to connect to the proxy server, which in turn connects to the real NNTP server.
