Benzin is an application for the PC that is intended as an open source alternative to the (seemingly vaporware) Alameda. It is being created by SquidMan, comex, and Archangel.

Features

Benzin will host a variety of features including:

  • Banner parsing (Complete)
  • Banner simulation (Not started)
  • XML -> BRLYT (Not done)
  • XML -> BRLAN (Complete)
  • Image -> TPL (Not complete, but works)

At the moment there are two "versions" of Benzin available:

  • A Python version, which has complete BRLYT parsing, a functional BRLYT writer (doesn't use XML), a somewhat functional BRLAN parser, and a somewhat functional BRLAN writer (doesn't use XML)
  • A C version, which has complete BRLAN parsing, a complete BRLAN writer (using XML), a non-functioning BRLYT parser, and an unimplemented BRLYT writer (which will use XML).

Download

There are no binaries for Benzin and most likely never will. Do not ask. All source code, examples, and future documentation will be on the Git repository at http://github.com/SquidMan/benzin/
