WinMacro - A utility that can record sets of mouse and keyboard events and then play them from within a script or another Windows program. This allows controling external applications through their GUI, and can be usefull for situations in which an application needs to be activated automatically, but does not provide any other interface but its GUI.

wndchrm - A multi-purpose image classifier. This command-line utility gets a root directory as a parameter and computes a large set (up to 2600) image features for each image in the class subdirectories. It can then split the images into training and test datasets and classifiy them. The code was tested on MacOS X and Linux. Use "configure" and "make" after untaring the files. Then type wndchrm for instructions.
