1   Introduction

Sometimes it can be pretty handy to create a new project using the code base from some other project. There are a number of reasons why that can be a good thing. The upstream developer(s) might not be reachable, the functions you want simply just do not fit in the upstream project, the functions are not possible to integrate without breaking other things or any other reason. This is not a problem when we are dealing with open source projects (at least FDSG compliant like GPL). You just take the old sources and fork off a new subproject.

2.1   ViperDB

Viperdb is a tool to verify the integrity of a filesystem. I wanted to fix and extend it so it fitted my purposes. Actually I do not remember what I fixed but you can find the code here.

README	Describes the chages I have made.
ViperDB	This is a fixed version of the ViperDB v0.6. I do not know how good it works because I have not used since late 1999.
