Data tracks can easily be created with the built-in file manager. GNOME drag-and-drop is supported throughout the program. Gnometoaster can also write MP3 files on the fly, is fully multisession capable, and can be used to encode all sorts of filetypes directly from audio audio tracks on a CD. Changes: Fixed a nasty bug in fsedit that could cause data loss in rare situations, added display showing how much space of a cd is currently used as well as several other things.
About: The Free Pascal Compiler is a Turbo Pascal 7.0 and Delphi-compatible 32/64 bit Pascal Compiler. It comes with a fully TP 7.0-compatible run-time library. Some extensions have been added to the language, like function overloading. Shared libraries can be linked. Basic Delphi support is implemented with classes, exceptions, RTTI, and ansistrings. A Free Component Library (FCL) is available with the base classes. Bindings for X11, ncurses, GTK, OpenGL, zlib, mysql, interbase and postgres are available. Changes: Countless bugfixes, binary writers for win32 and go32v2, multilanguage, complete ansistring support, exception support, classes model complete, more precompiled packages (Free Component library, Free vision, GTK, mysql, postgres, ncurses, svgalib bindings and more), man pages, source beautifier tool (ptop) and many more small new things.
About: Ftwalk is a high level script programming language, very similar to awk, but greatly extended to include a richer type system, object-oriented features, 300+ built-in functions, extensibility through dynamic libraries, etc., which makes it roughly comparable to languages like Perl. It does file tree searches, and was originally used to implement selective redundant copy backup stores. It can be run interactively as a calculator. Changes: Release 1.5.2 now available. Changes include new licensing (now GPL), porting fixes (mostly Linux), and some significant language changes to make it easier to port awk scripts to Ftwalk.
About: dopewars is a UNIX rewrite of the MS-DOS program of the same name, which in turn was inspired by John E. Dell's "Drug Wars" game. You have one month to buy and sell drugs on the streets of New York, the aim being first to pay off your debt to the loan shark and then to make a fortune. And if you have to shoot a few cops in the process, well... The game includes TCP networking allowing you to meet (and shoot) other human drug dealers. Computer drug dealers are currently in development. Changes: Misc. bugfixes; much improved fighting interface; dynamic configuration of most parts of dopewars now possible; rewards for killing other players; etc.
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers. A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters. Changes: This release fixes a number of portability and networking problems. For a complete list of changes see the change log.
About: RPGBoard is a WWWBoard-style message board script. It includes multiple forum support, thread modes, a message previewer/editor, message tags, selectable backgrounds, default options for the regulars, name detection via cookies, recent message date/time color coding, the ability for users/admins to (un)delete messages, top poster statistics, a hidden spoiler message box, the ability to ban IP addresses, a word filter to block cuss words, and much more. Changes: Added header styles (for you old WebBBS/UBB/WWWThreads addicts); header stuff can be changed on the master default; RPGHeaders warns user if the Admin password is not changed; configurator auto-corrects prefixed/trailing slash problems; will display the ICQ online/offline flower in the bios if an ICQ number entry is in the custom bios entries
About: Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) is a network protocol analyzer, or "packet sniffer", that lets you capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames. The goal of the project is to create a commercial-quality packet analyzer for Unix, and the most useful packet analyzer on any platform. Changes: Decoding support has been added for GRE, RSVP, ISAKMP, PPTP, and PPP over Ethernet. Summary statistics for the trace file can now be produced. The Time column in the packet list can be easily changed between absolute, delta, and relative time. And a new "Match Selected" function allows you to create display filters based upon which bytes you have highlighted in the protocol tree / hex dump. Of course, bug fixes have been added too.
About: GNU gengetopt takes a simple description of arguments and generates a C function that uses the GNU getopt_long(3) function to parse and validate the options. It is perfect if you are too lazy to write all that is required to call getopt_long(3), or need to use many options. The generated code also works with autoconf or automake. Changes: Added a man page, thanks to James R. Van Zandt.
About: Mmucl is an extremely flexible mud client written in Tcl that provides a number of different interfaces. The graphical interfaces use GTK and Tk. Changes: Fixed eol problem once and for all. Minor documentation and example updates.

Changes: Customizable html templates, configure script, limits on maximum number of pop accounts, forwards, aliases, autoresponders and mailing lists.
About: OSSP mm is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies the usage of shared memory between related processed under Unix platforms. It both hides all platform dependent implementation details (allocation, locking, etc.) when dealing with shared memory segments and provides a high-level malloc-style API for a convenient way to work with data-structures inside those shared memory segments. Changes: This version fixes two nasty build problems which were recently introduced.
About: Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, with as little disruption as possible. Aegis supports geographically distributed development.
About: autorun automagically recognizes all available CDROMs in the system, mounts them upon insertion of a media and executes a possible autorun executable on the CD.

About: gbuild is a powerful system of scripts designed to automate cvs updating of code, compiling the modules, creating tar files, automatically creating spec files, rpms and srpms. It is easily configurable to be used with any modules, and flexible enough to be used with any project using a GNU automake/autoconf setup. Includes support for a configuration file to specify global and package specific update/compile options. Changes: This is a major release in the gbuild series. rpm/srpm/spec file creation is much improved, utilizing an autoconf setup and many bugs were fixed making this the most stable and actually useful release to date.
About: Ganymede is a metadirectory system, primarily intended for UNIX-like environments, but capable of being run with some effort on any server supporting Java 1.1.7 or better. Ganymede supports NIS, DNS, and other network information services, and allows many administrators to work together simultaneously to administer defined subsets of your network directory data. Any system capable of running Java applets with Swing can run the Ganymede client. Changes: Fixed a horrible bug in the code that combines permissions across multiple roles. Anyone who tries to use Ganymede 0.99.2 beyond the supergash account would experience serious confusion.
About: MAVERIK is a system for managing graphics and interaction in Virtual Reality applications. It is designed to address the challenges of highly interactive virtual environments containing many objects with complex geometry. MAVERIK uses either Mesa or OpenGL to perform rendering and runs on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Irix, Windows 98/NT and MacOS. Changes: The main new feature in version 5.1 is support for Windows 98 and NT (and probably Windows 95, although this is untested). The numerous minor additions and modifications are listed in the change log.
About: XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver collection shipped on most Linux and Unix systems running the X11 Window System. These screen savers also work on Mac OS (X11 is not required). More than 200 screen savers are included. Changes: New version of `shadebobs', improved image selection in `webcollage', and sped it up slightly, made configure find the right version of perl, `make clean' was deleting some things it shouldn't and fixed a typo in the default programs list.
About: userv is a Unix system facility to allow one program to invoke another when only limited trust exists between them. It is a tool for system administrators, who often find themselves with a program running as one user which needs to be able to do certain things as another user. For example, the author's machine's news system needs to scan its users' newsrcs to ensure that the right newsgroups are fetched. Before userv that part of the news system had to run as root, and clumsily use `su'.
About: J-Pilot is a full-featured desktop organizer application for the Palm Pilot that runs under Linux and UNIX. It includes support for Datebook, Contacts, Address, Memo, Memos, Todos, Expenses, and has plugin support. It uses the GTK+ libraries. Changes: Initial release.
