driver to tune the display parameters during X server run-time. Among
other features, it allows switching and changing output devices, tuning
TV output, gamma correction and Xv (hardware video) properties. It also
supports switching the display mode and resizing the desktop using the

There are lots of programs for lots of platforms to make fish swim in the
background of your screen. This is a modification of an old one called
xfish (also called Xaquarium), that I have added more features to.
This version now works on true colour displays.
xvt - an xterm replacement, supporting color, transparency, and more,
with less!
xvt, simply continues on the original authors work -- John Bovey, University
of Kent at Canterbury. With few exceptions, it does everything Xterm does.
But also does a great deal more, with less overhead. This version will also
leverage vt(4), FreeBSD's new console driver. Which replaces syscons(4).

bgs uses imlib2 for image rendering and rotates the images automatically.
It is made for dynamic Xinerama/Xrandr setups such as used with notebooks,
but it works very fine in any setup.
xtermcontrol enables dynamic control of xterm properties. It makes
it easy to change colors, titles, fonts, and the geometry of a
running xterm, as well as to report the current settings of the
properties. Window manipulations such as (de)iconify, raise and
lower, maximize and restore, and reset are also supported. It also
lets advanced users issue any xterm control sequence.
p7zip is a Unix port of 7-Zip, a file archiver with high compression
ratio (www.7-zip.org) with lots of features:
* 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU LGPL
* High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression
o Unicode file names
o Variable dictionary size (up to 4 GB)
o Compressing speed: about 1 MB/s on 2 GHz CPU
o Decompressing speed: about 10-20 MB/s on 2 GHz CPU
* Supported formats:
o Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
o Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB
and NSIS

2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip

Audiere is a high-level audio API. It can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3,
FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT files. For audio
output, Audiere supports DirectSound or WinMM in Windows, OSS on
Linux and Cygwin, and SGI AL on IRIX.
Audiere is open source and licensed under the LGPL. This means that
you may freely use Audiere in commercial products, as long as you
do not modify the source code. If you do modify Audiere and release
a product that uses your modifications, you must release your changes
to the code under the LGPL as well.
Audiere is portable. It is tested on Windows, Linux-i386, Cygwin,
and IRIX with at least three major compilers. Most of Audiere is
endian-independent, so I expect it would work with few modifications
on other architectures.
