  90. Xw-1.01 Archived: 8 May 1996 Size: 346 K
    The Xw widgets set as used in Doug Young's X Windows book. There were originally provided by HP as unsupported, user-contributed code and some of the X programs on this Archive require this Xw widgets set to be installed first. Documentation, including man pages, is available as a separate Xwdoc package.
  91. yamm-2.5.5
    Yet Another Micro Monitor using the curses environment. A superior process monitor program, recommended instead of top due to its ability to display process info in differently sorted ways. It can also total the process memory usage on a per-user basis.
  92. ygl-2.4
    GL library for X windows. Xgl emulates GL routines under X11. Included are most of the two-dimensional graphics routines, the queue device routines, some query routines and some window attribute routines. Aspects such as colour map handling are controlled from environment variables.
  93. ytalk-3.0.3
    A multi-user chat program. It works almost exactly like the UNIX talk program and even communicates with the same talk daemon(s), but allows for multiple connections and has an X11 interface.
  94. zip-2.01 Archived: 20 May 1994 Size: 214 K
    Archiver and compressor popular on MS-DOS systems. Files may be packed into a single (.zip) file using several different methods of compression. Unpacking is performed by the unzip program and this release comes with encryption support (source from outside the US).
  95. zlib-1.0.4
    A general purpose compression library based on gzip. This provides function calls which allow an application to compress or decompress data stored in a format similar to that used by the gzip utility. Its current main application is by the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) library, which in turn is used by the latest ImageMagick and mosaic releases.
  96. zoo-2.1 Archived: 12 Jul 1993 Size: 173 K
    Archiver compatible with microcomputer versions of zoo. Has the advantage over arc in that it can handle pathnames as well, but otherwise performs a similar task to arc.
  97. zsh-3.1.0
    Shell combining the best of ksh and csh into one. Supports aliases, filename expansion, process substitution, command substitution, job control, history editing mechanism, arithmetic evaluation using let and a full set of scripting commands.
