assorted.sf.net projects This SourceForge project is a collection of not-very-related software that I’ve written, and it’s imaginatively named “assorted.”
Most of the code is simply stored in the Subversion repository at the moment, with no web pages or package releases. The information here is sparse, providing only a brief description and the development status. More information to come later.
