This is the "feisty meow® concerns" codebase top folder.

+
+Feisty Meow Concerns Ltd. is a small software shop that concentrates on
+building high quality, portable, open source projects in a variety of
+languages (primarily bash, perl, python, C++, and Java). Here are some
+highlights of our main products:
+
+ Bookmark Processing Tools - can take a mozilla bookmark file or arbitrary
+ web page and extract all the links out of it, building a csv database of
+ web links. Using that database, a variety of output formats are
+ provided, including one that outputs a mozilla bookmark file again.
+ The most useful feature is probably the marks checker that operates on
+ our csv format and that locates all unreachable links in the file and
+ separates them out.
+
+ CROMP protocol - supports transmission of objects across the network and
+ provides a platform independent method for RPC and other types of
+ communication.
+
+ Octopus design pattern - the underpinning of the CROMP protocol. An octopus
+ has an arbitrary number of tentacles (no, not just eight) which are each
+ responsible for consuming a different type of object (or datum).
+
+ Fast Templates and Portable Abstractions - the class libraries of Feisty Meow
+ provide numerous different data structures and programming language
+ abstractions (like threads and state machines). There are also some
+ fairly ancient templates (in use since late 80s) which in many cases
+ perform faster than their STL analogues.
+
+ CLAM System - Feisty Meow is the home site of the CLAM makefile system. The
+ CLAM system is a flexible and extensible method for building C++ and
+ C# files using makefiles.

+Historical note:
Feisty Meow® Concerns codebase comprises some but probably not all of several projects that
have come before. These include the Twain.COM library scripts, the Yeti / YetiCode library
scripts, the HOOPLE 1 and HOOPLE 2 C++ Codebases, the Fred Huffhines open source LSL scripts,
the CLAM build system, and a variety of other efforts.

Source code specifically for web programming and building sites. Mainly a few javascript

+
+Notable Prerequisites for Using the Feisty Meow® codebase:
+
+ Software required to compile under Linux:
+ Gnu C++
+ A few free source libraries (see "building.txt" for more information).
+
+ Software required to compiler under MS-windows:
+ The free Microsoft compiler should build the codebase but it is untested.
+ The full version of MS Visual Studio 2010 (version 10) is supported.
+ --but this has fallen into disrepair.
+ Gnu C++ should compile the codebase but it is also untested recently.
