Here are a few pointers to free software that pertain to the NIPS collection (as of April 2001).

DjVu plug-in for Windows and Mac and DjVuLibre plug-in/viewer and command-line tools for Unix (with source code), to view and print the articles from your web browser.
NOTE: The Unix/Linux versions include compression and decomporession utilities, as well as a standalone viewer called "djview".

DjVuLibre: Open source implementation of DjVu with viewers, compressors, decompressors and utilities for various Unix platforms (designed and originally written by our old friend Leon Bottou).

PDF/PS to DjVu conversion utility: this is a shell scripts that uses the open source DjVu reference library or the commercial command-line compressor in combination with GhostScript to convert PDF or PS documents to DjVu.

Any 2 DjVu conversion server: A free conversion server that allows you to upload documents in just about nay non-proprietary format and have them converted to DjVu and OCRed.

Bib 2 Web conversion server: upload a BibTeX file and the corresponding publications in any format, and our server will convert them to highly compact .ps.gz and .djvu files as well as generate a nice-looking publication page in HTML.

DjVuSolo: a simple Windows application for scanning and converting documents to DjVu. Free for non-commercial use. The Commercial version adds OCR capability.

NOTE: LizardTech has a program to provide the high-end DjVu compression software free to universities.
