- FreeBSD Inc.
- FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for
"PC-compatible" computers.
- OpenBSD
- The OpenBSD project involves continuing development of a free
multi-platform 4.4BSD-based Unix-like operating system.
- NetBSD Project
- The NetBSD Project is the collective volunteer effort of a large
group of people, to produce a freely available and
redistributable UNIX-like operating system, NetBSD. NetBSD is
based on a variety of free software, including 4.4BSD Lite from
the University of California, Berkeley. It runs on a large number
of hardware platforms and is highly portable. It comes with
complete source code, and is user-supported.
- BSDI Home Page
- Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDI) develops and markets
high-performance Internet and networked server software for
Internet service providers, corporate users, and embedded system
vendors. BSDI delivers advanced server solutions powered by the
mature, open BSD/OS networking and Internet technologies
originally developed by the University of California Berkeley's
Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG).

- The 86open Project
- The 86open project is a group which includes some of the key
developers of Unix operating systems on Intel architecture
computers have agreed to work on a common programming and binary
interface. At a meeting held mid-August at the head office of
SCO, participants achieved consensus on a way to create software
applications which would run, without modification or emulation,
on the Intel-based versions of: BSDI, FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, SCO
OpenServer, Sunsoft Solaris X86, SCO UnixWare. The goal of this
effort is to encourage software developers to port to the
Unix-Intel platform by reducing the effort needed to support the
diverse mix of operating systems of this kind currently
available.

- Fault Tolerance: watchd, libft, repl
- Watchd is a watchdog daemon process for detecting UNIX process
failures (crashes and hangs) and restarting those processes. The
fault tolerance mechanism is based on a cyclic protocol and the
recovery mechanism is based on the primary copy approach. Libft
is a C library for checkpointing the internal state of an
application process periodically on a backup node. It also
provides recovery routines to restore the state of a process at
the backup node and a location-dependant connection mechanism
between server and client processes. With these checkpoint and
recovery mechanisms, a server process can be dynamically migrated
to a different node for load balancing and fault tolerance. To
tolerate design and program faults, it provides fault tolerance
programming constructs, such as, recovery blocks, N-version
programming, and exception handling. It also provides fault
tolerant I/O functions for safe I/O. REPL is a file replication
mechansim that replicates files located on one physical file
system onto another physical file system at run time. It provides
features for both synchronous as well as asynchronous run-time
replication of file updates.
- Gema text processing language
- gema is a general purpose text processing utility based on the
concept of pattern matching. In general, it reads an input file
and copies it to an output file, while performing certain
transformations to the data as specified by a set of patterns
defined by the user. It can be used to do the sorts of things
that are done by Unix utilities such as cpp, grep, sed, awk, or
strings. It can be used as a macro processor, but it is much more
general than cpp or m4 because it does not impose any particular
syntax for what a macro call looks like. Unlike utilities like
sed or awk, gema can deal with patterns that span multiple lines
and with nested constructs. It is also distinguished by being
able to use multiple sets of rules to be used in different
contexts.

- GNU-WIN32 Project Page
- The GNU-Win32 tools are ports of the popular GNU development
tools to Windows NT/95 for the x86 and powerpc processors.
Applications built with these tools have access to the Microsoft
Win32 API as well as the Cygwin32 API which provides additional
UNIX-like functionality including unix sockets, process control
with a working fork and select, etc.

- NSBD: Not-So-Bad Distribution
- NSBD, Not-So-Bad Distribution, is a freely available, open
WWW-based authenticating software distribution system. NSBD adds
two basic things to simple web downloads: it authenticates
maintainers of packages with digital signatures so users can
trust where the packages come from, and it supplies a means of
checking for updates to the packages and automatically
downloading and installing the updates. This "automated pull"
style of distribution has the same effect as the "push" style of
distribution that is being given press lately, but gives more
control to the user (a "push" style is also supported that is not
used as frequently). NSBD uses "Pretty Good(Tm) Privacy"
(PGP(Tm)) for authentication. NSBD's focus is on security,
leaving as much control as practical in the users' hands. The
single NSBD program handles the operations done by both
maintainers of packages and users of packages.

- Sfio - Safe/Fast I/O
- Sfio is a portable library for performing stream I/O. It provides
similar functionality to the ANSI C Standard I/O functions
collectively known as Stdio. However, it is generally faster and
more robust than most Stdio implementations. Sfio also introduces
a number of new concepts beyond Stdio stream I/O processing.

that combines convenience with power. File browsers, a directory
tree, editor windows, custom menus and your standard command
shell are smoothly integrated into one highly customizable,
multi-window productivity tool of a kind long missed on Unix
systems.
- Unix FAQ
- UNIX to NT Resource Center
- This Resource Center contains a list of Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ), and a number of useful resources about how to
port UNIX applications to Microsoft's Windows NT.
- UWIN- Unix for WINdows
- The UWIN package provides a mechanism for building and running
UNIX applications on Windows NT and Windows 95 with few, if any,
changes necessary. The UWIN package contains the following three
elements: Libraries that provide the UNIX Application
Programming Interface (API); Include files and development tools
such as cc, yacc, lex, and make; Korn Shell and over 160
utilities such as ls, sed, cp, stty etc.
