A download mirror for http://www.opensourcepan.co.uk/

OpenSourcePan (OSP) provides a number of libraries and small programs aimed at 
web developers and programmers. Web hosting is already provided by a pay-for 
ISP; however, the ISP block downloads of zip, tarball, exe, rpm and similar 
files, so a separate download server is required. Currently SourceForge provide 
this servive; however, because of the condition of and load on the servers, 
this is no longer a reasonable option.

The libraries provided are for the FreePascal compiler and Borland\'s Delphi 
and Kylix, and are being adapted to compile with the GNU Pascal compiler 
(changing Borland-style dynamic arrays to GNU-style Schema). They include:

* Hash routines (http://www.opensourcepan.co.uk/libraries/hashes/)
* Better TStream (http://www.opensourcepan.co.uk/libraries/advstream/)
* Under development is wrappers for the PCRE and GNU regex libraries

Applications (http://www.opensourcepan.co.uk/programs/) include a colour picker 
which suggests other colours which go well with the selection (currently Win32 
only; it is being ported to POSIX systems with a Gtk interface) and a code 
colouriser (currently a plugin for HTML-Kit; standalone versions for Win32 and 
*nix are under development). Several small plugins for HTML-Kit are also 
available.
