Legacy web pages of Axel Beckert

Since I'm no more active at the Fachschaftsrat Informatik of the University of Saarland anymore, I have transferred all my university time legacy web pages from http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~abe/ to this interim host at http://fsinfo.noone.org/~abe/ with only minimal modifications, mainly e-mail addresses.

Most pages on this interim host won't be updated anymore until they are moved (and redirected) step by step to their future home somewhere under http://noone.org/.

Please also note that my former e-mail address ~~abe@fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de~~ is no more valid. Use abe@deuxchevaux.org instead.

Programs and other stuff

Here you can download some programs, scripts or other things, which were made by me or on which I worked together with others and have been found for being more or less useful for other people, too.

The PERL scripts are tarred and bzipped (file suffix .tar.bz2). You'll need bunzip2 respective bzip2 and [GNU] tar to expand and extract the archives. More information on the bzip2 file format can be found at the bzip2 home page and on the tape archive (tar) format at the GNU Project. (No, WinZip can't handle bzip2 yet, even not in version 8.0. *eg*)

All software on this page comes without any warranty and is provided 'as is'. All programs are written with GNU Emacs, the operating system beyond editors. ;-)

Have also a look on my GNU Emacs HTML mode, Mutt, wApua and my Apache page.

html32-mode.el	Emacs HTML 3.2 Mode version [an error occurred while processing this directive] This is an expanded HTML mode for GNU Emacs designed for the standard HTML 3.2. It's based on the HTML mode by NSCA. Available under GPL. For further information and download there exist special pages about the HTML 3.2 Mode Note: This is no WWW browsing mode and no WYSIWYG mode, it is just for faster typing HTML and not needing to know all HTML 3.2 entities / tags by their names.

Example: GPL and scrambled GPL (Use "View document source" or see the file as MIME type text/plain, last both gzipped.) There is also a version scrambleat.pl (2.4K), which is specialized on scrambling e-mail addresses, so that most spammer's e-mail address grabbing tools won't find that addresses, although they appear as usual to any normal surfer.	8.3K	PERL 5
