Current Projects
Commander S
Commander S is a full-featured graphical shell built on top of scsh.
Xft for XEmacs
Joint work with Matthias Neubauer. A patch with the aim to bring scalable antialiased fonts to XEmacs 21.5. This directory contains all patches we submitted to xemacs-patches: Version 1, Version 2 and Version 3. A XEmacs with Xft-fonts looks neat, convince yourself: Matthias homepage features some screenshots and links.
In the meantime, great portions of the code made it into the XEmacs CVS repository on its own branch names sjt-xft.
Qt bindings for Scheme 48
Write GUI applications with Scheme 48 using the powerful Qt GUI toolkit.
I advised a student research project that was completed recently. The main target of this project was to find a method for integrating the GUI events and callbacks that come from Qt with the Scheme 48 I/O event system. After some experiments we have found a quite clean way to do this (I promise to provide some details soon). So far, it's possible to install callback functions written in Scheme to Qt widgets and call the methods of a few Qt classes. Currently, I'm working on a tool that generates the FFI stub functions from the Qt headers.
SELC, an efficient Emacs Lisp Compiler
ODBC support for scsh
Use ODBC to connect scsh to your favourite database! Available in scsh CVS repository.
LDAP support for scsh
Talk to the next generation network information system using scsh! Available in the scsh CVS repository. I also wrote bindings for YP/NIS.
Berkeley DB bindigs for scsh
Write scsh programs that store and retrieve data from a Berkeley DB database. Available in the scsh CVS repository.

Misc stuff
- People keep asking me for my Gnus configuration. Here it is. And here is my XEmacs configuration file.
- Build-scsh-script (download here) builds a "standalone binary" from a scsh image file.
- sshw (download here) connects to a list of machines with ssh and runs a command there. Example.
