LLNL XDIR Version 2.0, October 23, 1995
LLNL XDIR, an OSF/Motif-based FTP client, provides a graphical user
interface for drag-and-drop file transfer. LLNL XDIR simultaneously
displays any number of directories for any number of hosts, with each
directory being displayed in its own window. LLNL XDIR supports
powerful directory browsing capability, including iconic and
hierarchical views. One of LLNL XDIR's most powerful features is its
ability to search directory structures (even across multiple hosts)
for entry names that match a specified pattern.
LLNL XDIR is meant to be the successor to LLNL XFTP, another graphical
FTP client. LLNL XDIR is considerably more sophisticated than LLNL
XFTP, and has all of its functionality.
LLNL XDIR is a component of the Intelligent Archive, which is currently
under development at LLNL.
LLNL XDIR was written by Neale Smith of the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, which is operated by the University of California.

Connectagram is a word unscrambling game. The board consists of several
scrambled words that are joined together. You can choose the length of
the words, the amount of words, and the pattern that the words are
arranged in.
The game provides a hint option for times when you are stuck, and
features an online word lookup that fetches the definitions of each word
from www.wiktionary.org. Your current progress is automatically saved.
Note that this game involves a large and varied word list, some of which
may be considered inappropriate for children. You can edit the file
containing the word list if you wish to remove words from your game. The
location of this file varies by platform.
Cube is a 3D First Person Shooter that uses OpenGL and SDL. It features:
- Single- and multi-player gameplay
- In-engine editing of geometry in full 3D (you fly around the map, point
and drag stuff to select or modify it), which can even be done with
multiple people at once
- Simplistic, but effective fine grain vertex lighting that looks like
lightmapping and can do dynamic lights and shadows
- No need for any kind of map precompilation, even lighting is done on fly
- Very simplistic quad-tree world structure that can do slopes (height-
fields with caps) and slants, water
- Decent collision detection and physics
- Client/server networking that goes a long way in giving a lag-free game
experience
- Doom/Quake-style singleplayer and multiplayer game with some
uncompromising brutal old-school gameplay
Iter Vehemens ad Necem (IVAN) is a graphical roguelike game, which

From developer's website:
Fellow adventurer, turn back while you can! For here begins the

choose to travel along it, you will dive into countless exciting
adventures to gain items of great magic, attain powerful equipment
made of mysterious materials, bathe in the blessings of mighty gods
and recruit loyal allies of various shapes and sizes. Unfortunately,
along the way you will also often be dangerously injured, poisoned,
catch numerous diseases, lose several limbs and transform into
manifold different kinds of pitiful creatures in the darkest depths
of hostile dungeons. And, at the end of the road, you are bound to
perish in a most gruesome and painful way. Don't say we didn't warn
you.
Games::AlphaBeta provides a generic implementation of the AlphaBeta
game-tree search algorithm (also known as MiniMax search with alpha beta
pruning). This algorithm can be used to find the best move at a particular
position in any two-player, zero-sum game with perfect information.
Examples of such games include Chess, Othello, Connect4, Go, Tic-Tac-Toe
and many, many other boardgames.
Users must pass an object representing the initial state of the game as the
first argument to new(). This object must provide the following methods:
copy(), apply(), endpos(), evaluate() and findmoves(). This is explained
more carefully in Games::AlphaBeta::Position which is a base class you can
use to implement your position object.
Almost everyone has heard of the Worms(R) series of games, developed
by Team17. Worms was created in 1990, the goal of the game consisting
of a several teams of "worms" fighting to the death on a 2D map.
WarMUX (WAR of Mascots from UniX) is heavily influenced by all games
in this genre, including Scorched Earth and Liero.
WarMUX is free software clone of this game concept. Though currently
under heavy development, it is already very playable, with lots of
weapons (Dynamite, Baseball Bat, Teleportation, etc.). There are
also lots of maps available for your battling pleasure! WarMUX
takes the genre to the next level, with great customisation options
leading to great gameplay. There is a wide selection of teams,
from the Aliens to the Chickens. Also, new battlefields can be
downloaded from the Internet, making strategy an important part of
each battle.
# The Color Transformation Language #
The Color Transformation Language, or CTL, is a programming language for digital
color management.
Digital color management requires translating digital images between different
representations or color spaces. For example, the pixels in an image may encode
the colors that should be seen when the image is displayed on a video monitor.
Printing this image on paper, or recording it on motion picture film requires
transforming the pixels to an appropriate representation: Video, inks on paper
and film all have different color gamuts and dynamic ranges. Color mixing is
additive for video, but subtractive for inks and film. Video and film typically
use three color channels, while four or more inks are used for printing on
paper. A color management system must transform each pixel in the original image
to corresponding amounts of ink or film density values.
OpenJUMP is an open source GIS software written in Java. It is based on

* OpenJUMP is known to work on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms, but
should work on any operating system that runs Java 1.5 or later.
* It is not just another free demo viewer, but you can edit, save,
analyze etc. with JUMP / OpenJUMP.
* It works, even with medium size datasets, and with professional
touch.
* It provides a GIS API with a flexible plugin structure, so that
new features are relatively easy to develope around the sound
mapping platform.
* It utilises standards like GML, WMS and WFS.
* It is already translated in English, Finnish, French, German,

Ever wish you add information to your photos like a caption, the place
you took it, the date, and perhaps even keywords and categories? You
already can. The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC)
defines a format for exchanging meta-information in news content, and
that includes photographs. You can embed all kinds of information in
your images. The trick is putting it to use.
That's where this IPTCInfo Perl module comes into play. You can embed
information using many programs, including Adobe Photoshop, and
IPTCInfo will let your web server -- and other automated server
programs -- pull it back out. You can use the information directly in
Perl programs, export it to XML, or even export SQL statements ready
to be fed into a database.
