About: aterm (AfterStep term) is an xterm replacement, based on rxvt v.2.4.8. It includes features such as NeXT style scrollbar, resource efficient pseudo-transparency. It understands root background changes by AfterStep Pager and Esetroot. The primary goal of aterm is to provide cool visual features without resource consumption. It can be compiled to utilize AfterStep's libasimage for wider image format support. Changes: This new development version finally fixes problems with aterm death on window manager restarts, plus it includes some other minor fixes.
About: Dave Gnukem is a 2D scrolling platform game, similar to Duke Nukem 1. It includes a level editor. It runs on Linux and Windows, and uses the SDL library. Changes: Numerous bugfixes, improvements and architectural changes. Widened game viewport.
About: VICE is a Versatile Commodore Emulator, i.e. a program that runs on a Unix, MS-DOS/Win95/NT or RiscOS machine and executes programs intended for the old 8-bit Commodore computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C128 (80 column screen is included now), the VIC20, all the PET models (except the SuperPET 9000, which is out of line anyway) and the CBM-II (aka C610). Changes: This is mainly a bugfix release. The MS-Windows port is still considered ALPHA, as there are some important features missing.
About: IceWM is a window manager designed for speed, usability, and consistency. It is able to emulate the looks of Motif, OS/2, and Windows, and allows you to have a customizable look using pixmaps. Changes: Fresh supply of maximize buttons, fixes in modifier detection, logout/kill confirmation dialogs and menu autoscroll.

About: BurnIT is a JAVA front-end to mkisofs and cdrecord, which runs in a graphical environment. This should make it more easy to burn CD's under the platforms cdrecord supports. Changes: Better support for Audio CDs, a CD Player and support for mkhybrid
About: RAY++ is a collection of C++ classes needed for ray tracing (shapes, surfaces, cameras etc.). The object-oriented design allows for easy extension of the package. RAY++ is distributed under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL). Changes: Since version 0.2b, several bugs have been fixed and many new classes have been added (inhomogeneous volumes, cylinders, cones, quadrics, implicit functions etc.).
About: CGI::WeT allows code written with CGI.pm to be themed (page layout is detached from page content creation). Changes: This is the first public release, with some minor bug changes from 0.4. The theme engine itself is fairly close to what will be in 1.0, but we want some more modules (news and calendar) to be finished. More details are available on the download page.
About: Amaya is a complete web browsing and authoring environment and comes equipped with a WYSIWYG style of interface. It lets users both browse and author valid Web pages, with standards including (X)HTML, native MathML, and SVG documents. It also includes a collaborative annotation application (RDF). Changes: Jan 12, 1999: An updated version of Amaya is available. The release 1.4a fixes a few bugs, add a browsing only mode and can be recompiled under Windows. The Amaya website has also repaired some links to autoconf build documentation.
About: jEdit is an Open Source text editor written in Java. It has many useful features, such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, regular expression searching, multiple file search and replace, folding, and keyboard macros. jEdit also includes a powerful plugin architecture that allows more than 80 plugins to be downloaded and installed from within the editor. Changes: This version adds commands for shifting the indent and fixes a couple of bugs. This will probably be the last pre-release before 1.3final.
About: GeneWeb is a system for people who want to publish their genealogy data on the Web. It can also be used locally (not connected on the net) as a normal genealogy program. It uses very efficient techniques of relationship and consanguinity computing, speaks several languages, and can run in conjunction with an existing Web server (CGI) or standalone using its own internal server.
About: Launcher is an all-in-one file handling solution for use with any software that uses file type to file handler mappings. This utility is the one point of configuration for programs like Netscape, the dfm filemanager, kfm, wmfinder, tkArchive, or tkmail. Features include MIME types architecture, multiple type-discovery methods, apache mime.types parsing for extension mapping, URL, directory, executable handling, and GUI-based disambiguation. Changes: This is a complete rewrite of a personal piece of software I've been using day in and day out for about 6 months. The rewrite completes the original feature set I was aiming for and hopefully brings the code to releasable/maintainable quality. This is the first public announcement of the Launcher, though it has been posted for a while. This new version introduces a new architecture, as well as several new features and capabilities. It is NOT configfile-compatible with the old version.
About: curl and libcurl is a tool for transferring files using URL syntax. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, DICT, TELNET, LDAP, and FILE, as well as HTTP-post, HTTP-put, cookies, FTP upload, resumed transfers, passwords, port numbers, SSL certificates, Kerberos, and proxies. It is powered by libcurl, the client-side URL transfer library. There are bindings to libcurl for over 30 languages and environments. Changes: dict:// support, ALL_PROXY fix for win32, progress meter fix for >20MB files.
About: tgif is a vector-based drawing tool, with the additional benefit of being sort of a web-browser. That is, you can fetch drawings from a web server with it, and you can make objects in your picture into hotlinks to other parts of the drawing, or to other drawings accessible via HTTP.
About: tipxd is an IPX tunneling daemon which snoops on a local network for IPX 802.3 traffic, packages it and sends it over one or many TCP/IP connections to tipxd running on remote machines where it is unpacked and sent via the local network. To the IPX networks, it then appears that the LANs are joined. This is a request for testing and big-finding. It is intended for playing IPX based games where the remote machines are joined only by a TCP/IP network, and typically when the the gaming machines are each behind a firewall. Changes: Finalized first working release of tipxd for general use. This version should provide all specified functionality.
About: Uptimed is an uptime record daemon keeping track of the highest uptimes the system ever had. Instead of using a pid file to keep sessions apart from each other, it uses the system boot time. Uptimed has the ability to inform you of records and milestones through syslog and e-mail, and comes with a console front end to parse the records, which can also easily be used to show your records on your Web page. Changes: This release adds countdowns for milestones in the uprecords front-end as well as a commandline option that runs the front-end in a loop. System info (kernel name and number) is now added to the logs and of course various bugs have been fixed.
About: asp2php converts WWW Active Server Pages (ASP) files that run on the Microsoft IIS Web Server into PHP pages to run on Apache. Changes: Added more string functions, array support, and type comparison functions. New binaries for Linux libc5, FreeBSD 3.0.0, and Windows 95/98/NT online for download.
About: Samba is an software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients. Changes: This is the official samba 2.0.0 production version. It is the first non-beta/non-cvs snapshot release to include NT Domain Controller support.
About: TaRT stands for "The Automatic Random Tagline", a versatile, fast and feature-rich email signature generator. TaRT features include random taglines, optional daemon functionality, display of current date, custom layout of signature, and "special date" tagline text. The command line syntax is simple and well explained. LinuxTaRT is designed to be run as a stand-alone daemon, from crontab, or in your login script. Changes: Added the ability to compile for systems without /proc (disabling the "uptime" feature). A number of code optimizations. More intuitive .TaRTrc format (backward compatibility remains)
