Portfolio Manager is a personal stock portfolio management system with the aim of being a complete stock trading diary. With minimal effort and time you can keep track of which stocks you have bought and sold, along with any associated dividends. The simple, intuitive design makes Portfolio Manager easy and straight forward to use. Within seconds of loading the application you know exactly how your portfolio is performing. Multiple purchases / sales of a single stock are displayed as both a consolidated or grouped transaction as well as separate transactions to give you a clear indication of how your stock is performing. The open trades list gives you details of all stocks that you currently hold on a single screen, such as the days change, last price, quantity you hold, price you paid, cost, profit, percentage profit, annual profit etc. The history list includes all the stocks you held for the specified financial year, giving you slightly different information such as buy/sell price, brokerage, dividends, profit etc. Both these lists are completely configurable to display only the columns that you require. Statistics are also collected for both of these lists to give you an instant indication of how your open trades are performing as well as your closed, giving you the knowledge of exactly how your portfolio has performed over the financial year. Keeping up to date records of what you’ve bought, sold and how long you held the trade for is vital for trading success. As many of you may already know, tax time can be a nightmare. Portfolio Manager simplifies this process with the use of a report, containing all the required information for your accountant. This not only cuts down your time spent, but also the accountants, saving you money.

Cmake is an addition to the awesome open source systems, which have been gaining high popularity these days. This application performs the crucial task of managing the build process, in a compiler independent fashion in an operating system. It comprises of many simple configuration files, which collectively form the standard build files for normal working.

This useful open source freeware possesses the capability of compiling source codes, creating libraries, building executable files in arbitrary combinations, generating wrappers, and lots more. The application supports both static as well as dynamic library builds, and generates a cache file designed specifically to be used in conjunction with the graphical editor. So whenever the application runs, it locates libraries, “include-files”, as well as executables, and sometimes encounters optional build directives.

All the information is collected into the cache, which may be changed by the user prior to the generation of the native, build files. It also supports complex directory hierarchies and applications dependent on several libraries, and handles projects consisting of multiple libraries, with great ease, wherein each library might contain several directories. The software also takes care of cases wherein executables need to be built in order to generate code, which in turn is compiled and linked into the final application.
