SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) displays astronomical images in the X11 window environment. It was written by Mike Van Hilst while he was at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) in 1990 and is now maintained by Doug Mink also at the SAO. Online help and documentation are on the webpage. Image files can be read directly, or image data may be passed through a named pipe (Unix) or a mailbox (VMS) from IRAF display tasks. SAOimage provides a large selection of options for zooming, panning, scaling, coloring, pixel readback, display blinking, and region specification. User interactions are generally performed with the mouse, but keyboard alternatives are often available. The SAOimage desktop includes, a main image display window, a button menu panel, a display magnifier, a pan and zoom reference image, and a color bar. A color table graph window can be brought up by clicking on the color bar.

iSQL-Viewer is an open-source JDBC 2.x compliant database front end written in Java. It implements across multiple platforms features of the JDBC API.

XZX is a portable emulator of ZX Spectrum 48K/128K/+3 (8-bit home computers made by Sir Clive Sinclair) for machines running UNIX and the X Window system. XZX emulates either a Spectrum 48K, 128K or +3, Interface I with up to 8 microdrives, Multiface 128 (if you have the ROM image) and Kempston joystick. XZX loads from .SNA, .Z80, .SLT, .DAT, .TAP, .TZX, .VOC, .MDR and .DSK files and saves to .SNA, .Z80, .SLT, .TAP, .MDR, .DSK and .SCR files. XZX will work with color (8,16,24,32bpp) and monochrome displays, where contrasting colours are displayed with the darker colour in black and the lighter colour in white, which works reasonably well. Halftoning is used if the scaling factor is increased.

LinCity is an SVGALIB and X based city/country simulation game for Linux. (Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD, HP_UX, AIX and IRIX are ALPHA at this time, but have been reported to work - sometimes needing a tweak to the Makefile[s].) You are required to build and maintain a city. You must feed, house, provide jobs and goods for your residents. You can build a sustainable economy with the help of renewable energy and recycling, or you can go for broke and build rockets to escape from a pollution ridden and resource starved planet, it's up to you. Due to the finite resources available in any one place, this is not a game that you can leave for long periods of time.

Mah jongg is an ancient chinese game usually played by four players with tiles similar to dominos. This is an X windows version for the solitaire game originally seen on the PC and later ported to SunView, and later on completely rewritten by Eddie Kohler. THEORY OF PLAY The object of the game is to remove all the tiles from the board. Tiles are removed in by matching two identical tiles which have either an open left edge or open right edge. The only exception to this rule is that any open "flower" tile (bamboo, orchid, plum, or chrysanthemum) matches any other open "flower" tile and any open "season" tile (spring, summer, autumn, or winter) matches any other open "season" tile.

Netatalk is an OpenSource software package, that can be used to turn an inexpensive *NIX machine into an extremely high-performance and reliable file server for Macintosh computers. Using Netatalk's AFP 3.2 compliant file-server leads to significantly higher transmission speeds compared with Macs accessing a server via SaMBa/NFS while providing clients with the best possible user experience (full support for Macintosh metadata, flawlessly supporting mixed environments of classic MacOS and MacOS X clients) Due to Netatalk speaking AppleTalk, the print-server task can provide printing clients with full AppleTalk support as well as the server itself with printing capabilities for AppleTalk-only printers. Starting with version 2.0, Netatalk seamlessly interacts with CUPS on the server. After all, Netatalk can be used to act as an AppleTalk router, providing both segmentation and zone names in Macintosh networks.

Spectrwm (previously known as scrotwm) is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact and fast. It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults, asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it. On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support but is crippled by not being written in C.

Do you ever wish you could cut two or more separate pieces of text at once from a window? Do you ever need to save the output from one command for reuse in several subsequent tasks? Do you ever find yourself wanting some easy means of globally exporting data, e.g. to a parent shell, to another xterm or application, or to another machine or user? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then xcb is for you. Xcb provides access to the cut buffers built into every X server. It allows the buffers to be manipulated either via the command line, or with the mouse in a point and click manner. The buffers can be used as holding pens to store and retrieve arbitrary data fragments, so any number of different pieces of data can be saved and recalled later. The program is designed primarily for use with textual data.

XMascot displays a moving mascot on your X11 screen. XMascot has the following options: - Moving pretty mascot moving - Stretch stretch it as you like - Talking mascot talks with extract command and data - Alarm mascot may make some actions at defined time - BIFF mascot may let you know arriving a mail XMascot supports these image formats: - MAG (*.mag) 16 colors and 256 colors - TIFF (*.tif) 16 colors and 256 colors, in raw or lzw - PPM (*.ppm) 256 level color, in raw - PGM (*.pgm) 256 level gray scale, in raw - PBM (*.pbm) 2 level monochrome, in raw - PNM (*.pnm) PPM, PGM, or PBM XMascot distinguishes images from their suffix and can load other image formats when corresponding *topnm, *topgm, or *topbm commands are found in your system.
