shntool is a command-line utility to view and/or modify WAVE data and
properties. It runs in several different operating modes, and supports
various lossless audio formats.
shntool is comprised of three parts - its core, mode modules, and
format modules. This helps to make the code easier to maintain, as
well as aid other programmers in developing new functionality. The
distribution archive contains a file named 'modules.howto' that
describes how to create a new mode or format module, for those so
inclined.

shorten reduces the size of waveform files (such as audio) using
Huffman coding of prediction residuals and optional additional
quantisation. In lossless mode the amount of compression obtained
depends on the nature of the waveform. Those composing of low
frequencies and low amplitudes give the best compression, which may
be 2:1 or better. Lossy compression operates by specifying a minimum
acceptable segmental signal to noise ratio or a maximum bit rate. Lossy
compression operates by zeroing the lower order bits of the waveform,
so retaining waveform shape.

specify the ID of the display to use it (by using the "-id" flag of
root-tail). Use the xprop command to find the active root display, and run
this through the cut command to strip out the ID number for insertion into the

Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog" or "cdialog"
programs. It converts any terminal based program into a program with an
X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see and use while adding even
more functionalities (e.g. with the treeview, the file selector, the edit box,
the range box, the help button/box). Because Xdialog uses GTK+, it will also
match your desktop theme.

Gtkdialog is a small utility for fast and easy GUI building. It can be
used to create dialog boxes for almost any interpreted and compiled
programs which is a very attractive feature since the developer
does not have to learn various GUI languages for the miscellaneous

dwdiff is a front-end for the diff program that operates at the word level
instead of the line level. It is different from wdiff in that it allows the
user to specify what should be considered whitespace, and in that it takes an
optional list of characters that should be considered delimiters. Delimiters
are single characters that are treated as if they are words, even when there is
no whitespace separating them from preceding words or delimiters. dwdiff is
mostly commandline compatible with wdiff. Only the --autopager, --terminal and
--avoid-wraps options are not supported.

dtach is a tiny program that emulates the detach feature of screen,
allowing you to run a program in an environment that is protected
from the controlling terminal and attach to it later. dtach does not
keep track of the contents of the screen, and thus works best with
programs that know how to redraw themselves. It is designed to be
transparent and un-intrusive; it avoids interpreting the input and
output between attached terminals and the program under its control.
