About: Tcl provides a portable scripting environment for Unix, Windows, and Macintosh that supports string processing and pattern matching, native file system access, shell-like control over other programs, TCP/IP networking, timers, and event-driven I/O. Tcl has traditional programming constructs like variables, loops, procedures, namespaces, error handling, script packages, and dynamic loading of DLLs. Tk provides portable GUIs on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh. A powerful widget set and the concise scripting interface to Tk make it a breeze to develop sophisticated user interfaces.
About: trfcrypt is an add-on package to the Tcl-extension trf. It provides the encryption functionality which was removed from the base package (Trf) to allow its inclusion on the Tcl/Tk CD-ROM without violating US export control laws on cryptography. Changes: Added detection and usage of the new stub mechanism in Tcl 8.1.
About: Gsh is a graphical shell. It integrates a terminal window, a normal shell, and various GUI components into a single package which allows easier and more powerful operations than you can have with a shell and terminal window seperately.

Changes: New look, Libc5 support, now reads $ENV, history popup list, improved font selector, better terminal emulation, better handling of clear and lots of minor usability improvements.
About: The procmail and formail mail processing package can be used to create mail-servers, mailing lists, sort your incoming mail into separate folders/files (real convenient when subscribing to one or more mailing lists or for prioritising your mail), preprocess your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival (e.g. to generate different chimes on your workstation for different types of mail) or selectively forward certain incoming mail automatically to someone. Changes: Fixes a few buffer overflow eliminates a keyword conflict with newer versions of gcc. These buffer overflows are probably 'slightly more difficult' to exploit as they involve particular variables instead of variable expansion in general.

Changes: This version fixes minor bugs and offers a visual indication of traffic flow volume in postscript reports.
About: Lsof is a Unix-specific diagnostic tool. Its name stands for LiSt Open Files, and it does just that.

About: HTML PLAIN is a "HTML Preprocessor Lacking An Interesting Name". Symbolic names instead of filenames allows files to be moved around without breaking links. Templates allow easy customization and changes of the layout. Tags can be redefined for a better structure of the document. Beginners can use one of the given templates and do not have to use any markup language at all. Experts can write their own Perl macros in order to get access to metadata and more flexibility. Changes: The manual has been completed, a few bugs have been fixed, and a few new features have been added (particularly two precompiler directives and command line arguments). The improved documentation should make the installation and the life of the webmaster much easier.

About: OpenMap is a JavaBeans-based GIS toolkit for building applications and applets needing geographic information. Using OpenMap components, you can access data from legacy applications, in-place, in a distributed setting. At its core, OpenMap is a set of Swing components that understand geographic coordinates. These components help you show map data, and help you handle user input events to manipulate that data. Changes: Major new features including RPF Layer which handles NIMA RPF Format data (CADRG and CIB), Day/Night layer, and CSV layer which makes it easy to display data stored as comma-separated values.
About: mp3tools is a set of utilities (mp3id3, mp3info, mp3index, and mp3gui) for managing collections of MPEG audio files.

AfterStep aims to incorporate the advantages of the NeXTSTEP interface, and add additional useful features. Changes: AfterStep is now 99.9% Gnome compliant. Work on the new config file parser for the development branch continues, ascommand.pl introduced to allow command line control of certain AfterStep functions and behavior, configure variables for making package building (Red Hat, Debian, etc) easier and lots of bug fixes.
