SSWF is a scripting language and a library to create
Macromedia Flash files. It has been downloaded more than
48,000 times on SourceForge and was ported on FreeBSD and
Gentoo without me being involved. It works on pretty much
all the Linux platforms (RedHat, Debian, Suse, Power on Linux,
z-Series, etc.,) under Windows and under Mac OS/X.

odbcpp is a C++ library that wraps the MS-Windows ODBC API
that works under Unices and Windows. It is very practical
to access databases without having to know anything about
the specific database being accessed.

I'm also part of the gnuwin32 team since the sswf and edll
projects are part of the gnuwin32 list of downloadable projects.
