The thunar-archive-plugin is a plugin for the Thunar File Manager, which adds archive operations to the file context menus. Using this plugin you will be able to extract and create archive files from within Thunar using a single click.

XArchive is a GTK+ front end for command line archiving tools such as tar, rar, zip, ace, 7zip, arj, and rpm. It uses external bash shell wrappers to handle the different types of file formats, so adding support for new archive types can be easily done by writing a wrapper.

XMill is a new tool for compressing XML data efficiently. It is based on a regrouping strategy that leverages the effect of highly-efficient compression techniques in compressors such as gzip. XMill groups XML text strings with respect to their meaning and exploits similarities between those text strings for compression. Hence, XMill typically achieves much better compression rates than conventional compressors such as gzip.

GPS Manager (GPSMan) is a graphical manager of GPS data that makes possible the preparation, inspection and edition of GPS data in a friendly environment. GPSMan supports communication and real-time logging with both Garmin and Lowrance receivers and accepts real-time logging information in NMEA from any GPS receiver.

The General Astrodynamics Library (GAL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License. The library provides a wide range of astrodynamical routines such as ephemerides, earth orientation, and orbit propagation. There are over 170 functions in total with an extensive test suit

This is a trivial program that displays the phase of the moon. It may help when you play a game that depends on the phase of the moon (nethack, nlith, etc.). It can also be used to calculate her...um, you figure this one out. ;)

Astro::Coords is a class for manipulating and transforming astronomical coordinates. Can handle the following coordinate types: - Equatorial RA/Dec, galactic (including proper motions and parallax) - Planets - Comets/Asteroids - Fixed locations in azimuth and elevations - Interpolated apparent coordinates For time dependent calculations a telescope location and reference time must be provided. See Astro::Telescope and DateTime for details on specifying location and reference epoch.

Starlink::AST provides a perl wrapper to the Starlink AST library. The Starlink AST library provides facilities for transforming coordinates from one system to another in an object oriented manner. Multiple coordinate frames can be associated with a data set and it is also possible to generate automatic mappings between frames. Coordinate frame objects can be imported from FITS headers and from NDF files.

py-aipy collects together tools for radio astronomical interferometry. In addition to pure-python phasing, calibration, imaging, and deconvolution code, this package includes interfaces to MIRIAD (a Fortran interferometry package) and HEALPix (a package for representing spherical data sets), and some math/fitting routines from SciPy.

astLib is a set of Python modules that provides some tools for research astronomers. It can be used for astronomical plots, some statistics, common calculations, coordinate conversions, and manipulating FITS images with World Coordinate System (WCS) information through PyWCSTools - a simple wrapping of WCSTools by Doug Mink. PyWCSTools is distributed (and developed) as part of astLib.
