Blitzkrieg Onslaught

  • Source Code:http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cmmo862/blitzon-0.2.tar.gz

A tank artillery game similar to the classic scorched earth (or other open source clones such as Xscorch and Atanks). This game was designed for the 770 from the ground up and thus works quite well on it. Features include: * Destructible, collapsing terrain * Currently 19 large, cunning and fairly painful weapons such as death heads, hot napalm and dirt balls. * A computer AI that is clever to the point that it will be made far dumber in the next version. * Turn based multilayer for up to 10 players. * Lots of flashy colours, movement and fun that should keep you giggling in uncharitable schadenfreude towards the charred remains of your friends tanks for hours.

Contributions, comments and constructive criticism (forgive the alliteration) can be sent to c.moore at student.unsw.edu.au.

Gtkmagnetic

*Download: http://www.opbyte.it/maemo/deb/gtkmagnetic-maemo_1.2-2_arm.deb
*Status: Port of gtkmagnetic 1.2 done, .deb available. In order to let the virual keyboard pop-up on the N770, I had to make the text area editable; this way you can mess it by writing chracters in the middle of a location's description, but fortunately the GUI accepts command typed only at the bottom line (at the prompt sign), so games are still fully playable.
With this second build I fixed a bug / missing feature preventing you to create save files in some adventures (Wonderland and all the Magnetic Windows versions) and, more importantly, stalling the game itself when issueing special commands (like #SCRIPT and #RECORD).

Maemo port of a GTK GUI for Magnetic 2.2, a free Magnetic Scrolls (tm) textual adventures interpreter (The Pawn, Guild of Thieves, etc.). You can download all the necessary game files from here: http://www.if-legends.org/~msmemorial/magnetic.htm

A sudoku game for the Nokia 770. Sudoku is a math puzzle game; see http://www.websudoku.com for more information. Comes with 60 puzzles, with no option for generating new ones.

Development proposal: Resorting columns 1 to 3 and similarly columns 9 to 7 would generate new layout of same sudoku while maintaining symmetry. Also, optionally swapping columns 4 and 6 does the same. Same goes for rows. Also entire set of columns 1 to 3 can be swapped with columns 7 to 9. Same things ofcause apply on rows. In addition of that number from 1 to 9 can be reassigned and sudoku can be turned 90 degrees. With combination of these tricks those 60 puzzles could be turned to 69120 different layouts, not counting reassignation of the numbers.

Nethack

NetHack is a roguelike computer game originally released in 1987. It is an evolution of an earlier game called Hack (1985) which was itself an evolution of Rogue (1980). The name NetHack references the fact that its development has been coordinated through the Internet, though it is not a multiplayer game, nor is it in any way connected with computer-security related usages of the word hacking. The "hack" element refers to a genre of role-playing games known as hack and slash for their focus on combat.

NOTE: The blank gap in screenshots is due to problems taking them with CPU/Load Plugin (it must be an older version) ;)

This package includes a (from scratch) bloglines reader to check out the news directly from bloglines API. It's intended to be a off-line reader. You update your news and read off-line. This a early version and it can be buggy but it basically works.

New Bugfixes and features:

  • The terminal app b_myconf is needed no more!! You can set your user up from the config window.
  • Menu added.
  • Post viewer improved; search enabled, better font size.
  • Hildon toolbar support added. It's capable of hiding itself (to gain size on fullscreen).

TODO:

  • osso-ic-lib support.
  • links and images post viewer support.
  • clean html entities.
  • dbus service to add feeds.
  • suggestions?

It has as well as the del.icio.us.770 a C Bloglines API wrapper shared library in order to give chance to the people to develop their programs such as home-applet summaries and so on. ;)

There is a lot of work to do. ;)

This package includes a status-bar plugin to add links into del.iciou.us and osso browser's bookmarks (osso-bookmark in development, need help! bare doc!). It also includes an alpha browser for del.icio.us. It only shows the recent urls for each tag.
The package also includes a del.icio.us API lib that I'm developing. The programmes are linked to the lib. This is the first release and it can fail but the status-bar plugin works ok. feedback is needed! ;)

  • v0.2 browser improved but still under development.
  • status-bar plugin improved. you only have to copy the url into the clipboard and when the plugin is opened the url and its title is added automatically.
    Please suggestions, feedback!! ;)

Flite Maemo with gstreamer support

Author*: Moises Martinez moimart@bookingfax.com
* **Source: http://moimart.org/stuff/flite-maemo-gst-0.0.2.patch -> Patch for official flite-1.3-release
* Download: http://moimart.org/stuff/flite-1.3-maemo-gst_0.0.2-1_arm.deb

Text to speech d-bus service for maemo implemented by using flite and gstreamer. It replaces old Flite Maemo (below) BR]

Flite Maemo

Author*: Moises Martinez moimart@bookingfax.com
* **Source: http://moimart.org/stuff/flite-1.3-maemo-0.2.2.patch -> Patch for official flite-1.3-release
* Download: http://moimart.org/stuff/flite_1.3-maemo-0.2.2_arm.deb

A flite wrapper implemented as a FliteWidget (with signals and so on) in order to ease developers integration with existing GTK code. Also I’ve implemented a D-BUS service for Maemo. There is also a test app to try it out. The maemo folder contains all the new code.

The .deb contains FliteWidget header and shared-lib, flite headers, d-bus service and test app. The code is not finished and flite is not optimized yet but it basically works.

TODO:

  • FliteWidget cleanup
  • D-BUS service optimization
  • support different voices
  • flite optimization
  • ...

System Tools

GUI-Based

CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet

Status bar plugin showing the CPU load and memory usage. Has also a menu for taking of screenshots and delayed screenshots. In future should allow for process killing, etc. Then I will call it the "Swissknife applet" ;-)

You can only install one of the two availabe load-plugins, either Jakub's original "load-plugin" or Armin's "load-plugin-aw".

CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet with SwapOn/Off

I added swapon/off to Jakub's Load-Plugin. This is most useful for those of us who are using a swap device or file on the RS-MMC. (If you have a swap on the RS-MMC, you really should swapoff before unplugging the RS-MMC...) More screenshots, the modified source and patches to transform Jakub's original Load-Plugin into my extended version can be found on my home page.

I sent my patches to Jakub, but got no answer yet. Thus I am not sure if he will include my changes, and if he will continue to maintain the Load-Plugin at all. That's why I decided to fork it: now there is "load-plugin" and "load-plugin-aw".

You can only install one of the two availabe load-plugins, either Jakub's original "load-plugin" or Armin's "load-plugin-aw".

IpHome homepage-plugin

hildon homepage plugin that shows current IP and TX/RX bytes and errors. Version 0.2 supports cycling through interfaces by tapping the plugin display panel.

Statusbar network monitor

Themes: 14pt Fonts

These are the 4 standard themes modified so that the default font is 14pts (instead of 16.75). When installed, they are at /var/lib/install/usr/share/themes.

Since the maemo theme manager only looks at /usr/share/themes for themes, I had to write a setup script located in /var/lib/install/usr/opt. It creates symbolic links, so that removing the package really removes them.

Install

1 . Install the theme package 2 . Open xterm, enter ’sudo gainroot’ 3 . enter ’su -’ 4 . enter ‘cd /var/lib/install/usr/opt’ 5 . enter ‘./setup-themes-14pt.sh’ 6 . the themes should now be visible under the personalization applet.

First note - If you are going to remove this theme package, run the setup script with the ‘restore’ parameter. I am not sure how the 770 would react with empty theme links. It should be fine, but it has not been validated (yet).

Second note - If you uninstall these themes while one of them is the active theme, it would probably brick your 770 (requiring a firmware flash). I have verified that if you trash the active theme (for any reason), it will probably get stuck in a continuous boot cycle. (you been warned)

X Terminal Emulator (xterm)

An X terminal emulator for Maemo. Provides the user a graphical interface to the Nokia 770 command line. Applications under the "Commandline-Based (Shell only)" subsection do not have a Graphical User Interface, but are instead designed to be used under Xterm.

There's also a modified version available which adds Home/End/PageUp-Down key functionality, at the expense of making the ESC key an escape key. Using this version, any application which used a single escape -for example, vim- requires two presses of the ESC key.
Details (and the download link) are at http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1636

There's also another modified version with selectable font and selectable color support. Details (and the download link) are at http://maemo-hackers.org/wiki/OssoXterm

Reverse Shell

A program which is used with Dropbear ssh client (Xterm not required, (but recommended)) to make connection to remote revsh program (tunneled in secure shell connection). Now user on this remote computer can use revsh to execute shells or commands on Nokia 770 like commands ssh and rsh can be used.

MaemoPad

A simple text editor like Notepad, running under the Hildon GUI. This is the demo app in the Maemo development tutorial, in a recent version and packaged into a working .deb for normal humans.

CPU/MEM load graph

Statusbar plugin showing cpu and memory usage graphs in status bar. Colors are definable with control panel applet. The plugin can also be used to run commands.

Commandline-Based (Shell only)

Bash

The GNU Bourne Again Shell.

Bind Utils (dig, nslookup, host)

I was able to get the entire Bind package compiled for ARM, but really I just wanted access to dig. Because of file size, and the lack of much practical use for a full DNS server on a 770, this package includes just the bind utils.

It will install these utils into /var/lib/install/usr/local/bin so you may want to add that to your path

Bluetooth OBEX server

OBEX push/pull and ftp (folder listing, etc...) server. It allows you to send, receive and browse the files on your 770 from your desktop. Also if you install the desktop version (for the Linux people) you can browse and download files on your desktop from your 770 (just tell the 770 your desktop is a phone and you will be able to browse it via the builtin filemanager).

Bluetooth port scanning suite

Bt_Audit is a Bluetooth port scanning suite.

btscanner

Requires: need root privileges to work and X Terminal Emulator with small fonts (max 14pt on full screen)

Simple, console based tool designed specifically to extract as much information as possible from a Bluetooth device without the requirement to pair. This is cross-compiled and packaged version of debian unstable packages.

Curl

curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax.

Dropbear SSH client and server

SSH stands for "Secure Shell" and allows you to initiate a secure command line session from another computer.

GnuPG

Gnuplot

I cross-compiled Gnuplot for Maemo. No changes to the source were required.
Close the plot window if you want to plot a second graph. Do not minimize it, because the window will not come to the foreground again. If you minimized it use 'killall gnuplot_x11' to close the plot window.
Thanks to Armin Warda for hosting and the killall comment.

GNU utilities: bc, find, xargs, gcal, wget

I cross-compiled these GNU utilities under scratchbox for Maemo:
bc 1.06,
find, xargs 4.2.25,
gcal 3.01,
wget 1,10.2

These executables will be installed under /var/lib/install/usr/bin, thus you should set your PATH-Variable to include this directory. If you always want to use the 'find' and 'xargs' executables from this package instead of the busybox's feature-reduced versions included with your Nokia 770, you have to have /var/lib/install/usr/bin in front of your PATH, e.g. by setting PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/bin:$PATH in your ~/.profile

IP Utils

A collection of some network utilities such as ping and tracepath.

Irssi IRC client

An IRC client.

Joe

  • Home Page: http://www.opbyte.it/maemo/
  • Download : http://www.opbyte.it/maemo/deb/joe_3.3_arm.deb

  • Usage : If you want to use hardware keys for main joe functions, modify the /var/lib/install/etc/joe/joerc and add some lines after ":main :inherit windows" like this:

    abort ^[ 0

    exsave ^[ 1

    save ^[ 2

    markb ^[ 3

    markk ^[ 4

    blkcpy ^[ 5

    blkmove ^[ 6

    nmark ^[ 7

    blkdel ^[ 8

    eof ^[ 9

    for example this lets you do ESC (http://770.fs-security.com/scummvm/key-close.png) 1 (one) to save and exit. Be sure to put the lines after any other assignments for the same keys.

An ASCII-Text Screen Editor

knock

It needed a single tiny adjustment to be crosscompiled for maemo; see patch on homepage.

The doorman daemon 'guards the door' of a host, admitting only recognized parties. It allows a server which is not intended for general public access to run with all of it's TCP ports closed to the outside world. A matching 'knocker' is provided, with which to persuade the doorman to open the door a crack, just wide enough for a single TCP connection from a single IP address. Author of doormand/knock is Bruce Ward

make, cvs, ls --color, unzip, vi, ...

I cross-compiled GNU Make, CVS, and BusyBox with the following applets: ls (with --color option enabled), bunzip2, unzip, xargs, ping, wget, sha1sum, cal, vi, cp (fixed the "cp /dev/null some_file" bug).

metapackage: osso-xterm (et al)

A metapackage that contains the following binary packages:

* osso-xterm
* tiny-vim
* slocate
* openSSH
* usbnet.sh

and three scripts that make configuration easier.

* setup-xterm-2006.04.27.sh - creates symbolic links, configures vim, openssh and allows for a complete restore (if needed).
* automount-mmc.sh - patches the OS for automounting of a second rs-mmc partition. also includes a full restore.
* filemgr-fixup.sh - maps the root filesystem and /MMC into the filemanager. also includes a full restore.

After an install, these scripts are located in /var/lib/install/usr/opt.

Installation

1 . remove any packages this metapackage may overwrite 2 . install the xterm-metapackage 3 . open xterm 4 . enter ’sudo gainroot’ 5 . enter ’su -’ 6 . (optional) passwd setup - if you haven’t set it up already 1 . enter ‘passwd -l root’ 2 . enter ‘passwd root’ (and set the root password) 3 . enter ‘passwd user’ (and set the user password) 7 . enter ‘cd /var/lib/install/usr/opt’ 8 . enter ‘./setup-xterm-2006-04-27.sh’ this will take a few minutes 9 . (optional) enter ‘automount-mmc.sh’ to automount a 2nd rs-mmc partition. 10 . (optional) enter ‘filemgr-fixup.sh’ to provide file manager access to your root filesystem.

mmc-unionfs

mmc-unionfs

unionfs is a stackable unification file system. It allows you to join directories and directory trees from different locations while keeping their contents separate. Look at its project page for more details about unionfs itself.

The main idea behind the actual Nokia770 implementation is to extend (up to the MMC's size) and/or change whatever parts of the root file system you like by data stored on the flash card without actually having to touch the original files at all. To the user and the applications this is totally transparent - no links or whatever changes needed. Also, by using different cards, you can give your Nokia770 rather different 'personalities'.

Home page, Instructions and Download: http://www.hczim.de:/software/mmc-unionfs.html

Status: Working.

portmapper/rpc.portmap

I just extracted and repackaged the slackware armv3 rpc.portmap, originally written by Wietse Venema. Just gainroot and start /var/lib/install/sbin/rpc.portmap, then you can mount filesystems via NFS.

Midnight Commander

A console file manager a-la-Norton Commander

NEURON

NEURON for Maemo (includes iv). A flexible and powerful simulator of neurons and networks. No changes to the source were required. You need /var/lib/install/usr/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Thanks to Armin Warda for hosting.

Nmap, the port scanner

*Port Page: http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/
*Status: Done.
*Download: http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/feed/nmap_3.95-1_arm.deb
*Main Site: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/

Need root access to fully utilize it.

Octave

Octave 2.1 for Maemo (includes fftw3 and hdf5). No changes to the source were required. You need /var/lib/install/usr/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Octave is more useful together with Gnuplot.
Thanks to Armin Warda for hosting.
PACKAGE WAS BROKEN UNTIL MARCH 29th DUE TO A TRANSFER ERROR. Sorry for the inconvenience.

OpenVPN, an open source SSL VPN solution

*Port Page: http://www.rahkonen.org/openvpn.html
*Status: Done.
*Download: http://www.rahkonen.org/maemo/openvpn_2.0-1maemo2_arm.deb
*Home Page: http://openvpn.net/

OpenVPN needs root permissions. Authentication with pam and lzo compression support are currently disabled so that OpenVPN package would not need any additional dependencies. The lzo compression support will be propably added at some point. (till this time you can use the standalone application found at: http://absorb.it/nokia770/openvpn_2.0.5_arm.tgz - no installer included there)

OpenSSH SSH client and server

  • Home Page: http://www.openssh.com/
  • Download: ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/maemo/openssh_4.2p1-1_arm.deb
  • Status: Port complete, includes Maemo-compatible ssh-askpass tool, ssh-agent, etc. The OpenSSH 'privilege separation' has been removed, and functions shared between ssh and sshd moved into a shared library to keep the size down. The result isn't quite as small as dropbear, but includes ssh-agent, a working ssh-askpass tool and support for connection caching http://david.woodhou.se/openssh-control.html).
  • Usage: Run /var/lib/install/sbin/setup-ssh.sh as root after installing. This generates RSA and DSA keys (which takes quite some time) and (when run as root) adds OpenSSH server to autostart. To start the server immediately, without requiring reboot, run as root: /etc/init.d/sshd start

Use passwd -l root to lock the root account, otherwise anyone can log in remotely as root with the default root password (rootme). Define a user password with passwd user or drop your public SSH key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for secure logins.

SSH stands for "Secure Shell" and allows you to initiate a secure command line session from another computer.

Optional settings for ssh-agent and connection caching: Something like this in /home/user/.profile will start ssh-agent during the initial Maemo startup, so that its settings are inherited by all programs which get run:

if [ ! -d /tmp/ssh-sockets ]; then
        mkdir /tmp/ssh-sockets
        eval `/var/lib/install/bin/ssh-agent`
fi

Then something like this in /home/user/.ssh/config will make it use connection caching for all SSH connections, so that it only has to actually authenticate the first time, and it'll keep the connection open. It also uses the faster 'blowfish' cypher, and enables compression.

Host *
 ForwardAgent no
 ForwardX11 no
 Compression yes
 Cipher blowfish
 ControlMaster auto
 ControlPath /tmp/ssh-sockets/%h-%p-%r
 ControlPersist yes
 ServerAliveInterval 60

sftp-server is not included in the deb package above - To make sftp to the device work, you can extract the sftp-server binary from http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo/ossw/o/openssh/ssh_3.8p1-3osso2_arm.deb and put it on the filesystem, then modify sshd_config to reflect where it is located.

PINE mail and news client

  • Home Page: http://www.washington.edu/pine/
  • Download: ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/maemo/pine_4.64-1_arm.deb
  • Status: No porting necessary, although the binary would shrink a lot if we were to drop all the help text from it (or even compress the help text). Although a text-mode application, pine actually works very nicely on touch screens with its 'enable-mouse-in-xterm' setting, which allows you to tap on menu items to perform actions, and to tap on mails in folder indices to view them etc. You only actually need to use the 'keyboard' when you're composing mail (or typing passwords, but that's why we use ssh-agent and configure pine to access IMAP servers over SSH, of course).

Pine does not install with application installer as of 4.64-1. Install as root using dpkg: dpkg-deb -x pine_4.64-1_arm.deb /var/lib/install/usr

rsync

rsync is a command-line tool that provides fast incremental file transfer, both locally and across a network.

A "stripped down" version with binary only can be found here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~erica78/henry/rsync/files/rsync_2.6.6-1-maemo-1_arm.deb

sendip

SendIP is a tool to send completely arbitrary packets out over the network. It is useful for network debugging, port-knocking, among others. Author of SendIP is Mike Ricketts.

slocate/locate

This is the locate command, tweaked and cross compiled for ARM/Nokia 770. Because locate uses a database rather then traversing the file system, it is better is some situations then the find command. As with most tools for the 770, you most likely will want to add it to your path. Due to the nature of locate, and the requirement of root access, there are a few instructions for this application:

* As root, run: groupadd slocate
* Install the .deb through app installer
* As root, mkdir /var/lib/slocate

Now the program is installed, and has a directory to store its database. For usage, you of course need to build the database as root. This is done as:

slocate -u

Now, if you want the normal user to have access to search the database, issue:

usermod -G slocate user

(This will require a reboot to take effect)

Telnet Client

This is a basic BSD license telnet client cross-compiled for Maemo. I recommend you add /var/lib/install/usr/bin to your path in .profile for easier use of this and all cli tools for the 770.

Tcpdump

Tenex C Shell (tcsh)

My "port" of the Tenex C-Shell (tcsh) to the Nokia 770. It's not so much a port as a compile. I did have to make a few modifications, notably removing all the scripts (preinst, prerm, postinst, postrm).

tnftp

'tnftp' is a 'port' of the NetBSD FTP client to other systems. 'tnftp' was formerly known as 'lukemftp'. It was renamed to `tnftp' by Luke Mewburn in February 2003. Notice: the executable is called 'ftp', not 'tnftp'.

Unison

From the Unison website: "Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other."

Vim

Use the hardware escape button (http://www.bleb.org/software/770/key-close.png) as "escape". It is also recommended to put set nocompatible in '~/.vimrc' to ensure the cursor keys work correctly. If you experience issues with the backspace key while in insert mode add set backspace=2 in '~/.vimrc'.

Since the Application Installer places packages outside of the normal path, you can edit ~/.profile to set these paths permanently. However, incorrectly editing ~/.profile can render your 770 unbootable, requiring you to reflash your unit and lose any data stored on it.

It is also possible to use dpkg to as root (see HowDoiBecomeRoot), to install vim into the normal path using the following command: dpkg -x vim-*.deb /. After doing this, simply type vim in the terminal to start vim.

Vim 6.4 (rich-featured)

I cross-compiled Vim with these configuration options: disable-gui without-x disable-netbeans disable-darwin --disable-xsmp. Help files and many syntax files are left out to reduce the installation size to 2.9M.

WirelessTools

The Linux wireless tools: iwconfig, iwlist, etc...

Dsniff

The dsniff 'sniffer' package we all love :)

socat

socat the Multipurpose relay

Aircrack-ng

The aircrack-ng wireless security toolkit. Requires shell access and root.

mug-usbnet

A bash script for managing the USBNet interface on the Nokia770. Installs at /var/lib/usr/sbin/usbnet. This script can enable, disable, restart or show status of the this interface through '/var/lib/usr/sbin/usbnet start|stop|restart|status'.

Note: After connecting and disconnecting, the interface can get confused and can be restored through 'usbnet restart'. For further information refer to http://maemotalk.feelslikeburning.com/2006/02/21/usbnet-with-nokia770-winxp/

mug-pkgtools

A set of bash scripts to simplify the process of package porting from the Zaurus IPK packages or the Debian ARM packages. Can run on your Linux desktop or on the Nokia 770. For use refer to http://maemotalk.feelslikeburning.com/2006/02/21/maemo-package-management-tools/

netsukuku

Netsukuku is a mesh network or a p2p net system that generates and sustains itself autonomously. It is designed to handle an unlimited number of nodes with minimal CPU and memory resources. Thanks to this feature it can be easily used to build a worldwide distributed, anonymous and not controlled network, separated from the Internet, without the support of any servers, ISPs or authority controls.

Programming

Python

An end-user package of Python 2.4.2, along with various bundled libraries (Numeric, PyGTK, PyHildon, PyGame) is available from the Python for Maemo project; unlike previous ARM development releases, this works on the Nokia 770.

    Note

This installs the Python binary into /var/lib/install/usr/bin/python2.4; to easily use this inside an xterm, add /var/lib/install/usr/bin to your PATH and/or create a python link pointing to the binary in a local PATH (e.g., $HOME/bin, which would also need to be added to PATH in this case).

    Note

At least one standard library module, tarfile, doesn't appear to be included in this distribution.

Guile Scheme

Guile is the GNU Project's Scheme interpreter. The available 770 packages include the core Guile libraries and interpreter, Aubrey Jaffer's portable Scheme library SLIB, and Scheme-level bindings for the Glib, Gtk+, Atk, Pango and Hildon APIs.

Port Page: http://www.ossau.uklinux.net/guile/index.html

GUnit

GUnit is a C unit testing framework in the spirit of JUnit. The framework incorporates an easy to use GUI based on the Gnome libraries. Other GUI alternatives include Hildon support (maemo.org).

Home Page: http://kooditakomo.cs.tut.fi/projects/gunit/
Notes: Debian packages now available for Maemo SDK 1.1. You'll need to install both gunit and gunit-hildon.

Ruby

Moved to ApplicationCatalogWip as it is not yet suitable for end-users.

SmallBASIC

Allows you to write programs directly on your 770.

SmallBASIC is designed to be a simple, lightweight programming environment for experimentation, featuring strong mathematical and high level graphics commands.

Home Page: http://www.users.on.net/~cwarrensmith/n770/#smallbasic
