X User Tools

"X User Tools provides for X users what "UNIX Power Tools provides for UNIX users: hundreds of tips, tricks, scripts, techniques, and programs -- plus a CD-ROM -- to make the X Window System more enjoyable, more powerful, and easier to use. This browser's book emphasizes useful programs, culled from the network and contributed by X programmers worldwide. Programs range from fun (games, screensavers, and a variety of online clocks) to business tools (calendar, memo, and mailer programs) to graphics (programs for drawing, displaying, and converting images). You'll also find a number of tips and techniques for configuring both individual and systemwide environments, as well as a glossary of common X and UNIX terms. The browser style of organization -- pioneered by "UNIX Power Tools -- encourages readers to leaf through the book at will, focusing on what appeals at the time. Each article stands on its own, many containing cross-references to related articles. Before you know it, you'll have covered the entire book, simply by scanning what's of interest and following cross-references to more detailed information. The enclosed CD-ROM contains source files for all and binary files for some of the programs -- for a number of platforms, including Sun 4, Solaris, HP 700, Alpha/OSF, and RS6000/AIX. Note that the CD-ROM contains software for both emacs and tcl/tk.Mui, Linda is the author of 'X User Tools' with ISBN 9781565920194 and ISBN 1565920198.
