XWRT (XML-WRT) is a high-performance XML compressor (it also works with textual files). It transforms XML to a more compressible form and uses zlib (default), LZMA, PPMVC, or lpaq6 as a back-end compressor. It is similar to XMill, but has many improvements. Takes fourth and third places in LTCB text compression benchmark as for January 2008. The author is Przemyslaw Skibinski.

It currently runs quite slowly (slower than the efficient bzip2 ),
mainly because of the block-sorting algorithms involved.

HomeBoy was a group of programers that created the first ISO compliant publicly available AAC encoder for Windows back in 1998. Also, they were reportedly creators of the first third party plugin for Winamp (their AAC input plugin), and the first ISO-compliant AAC decoder publicly available.
The encoder is just a compile of the original ISO reference sources, therefore quality is bad. But, interestingly, streams created by it can still be played in modern decoders.

The MP3 Streaming DownSampler for PHP is written with cable modem/DSL users with low upstream caps in mind. Using LAME, it dynamically downsamples a requested MP3 to a bitrate which can be streamed. It doesn't use temporary files, so you don't have to take the time to do any batching, and you just give it a directory with symlinks to your music in a place the Web server can reach. The interface is simplistic and fast, meant for immediate plug and play access.

GraphicsMagic is a branch off of the ImageMagick project. I suppose there are some interesting political machinations behind all that, but for right now you should just know that GraphicsMagick is attempting to provide a stable set of code that can be used in other free and proprietary products. This consists of a big batch of image processing library functions, as well as a command line tool that lets you easily exercise some of those functions.
Version 1.1.2 shipped in June, 2004.

When listening to recordings of human speech (like audio books, conference recordings, ...) it can be useful to have the ability to adjust the playback speed without changing the pitch of the recording. This simple command line program can do this for you. Playing a audio book at 150% of its original tempo is still intelligable and saves time, therefore the name of the program.

This page describes a program, ent, which applies various tests to sequences of bytes stored in files and reports the results of those tests. The program is useful for those evaluating pseudorandom number generators for encryption and statistical sampling applications, compression algorithms, and other applications where the information density of a file is of interest
