Stefan Wuerthner says he has brought his collection of scientific software up to date. Dave Thomas has released an updated version of his image viewer, PrivateEye. The software displays Sprite, DrawFile, JPEG, ArtWork, GIF and PNG files, and judging by the screenshot on Dave's website, porn. David Llewellyn-Jones has ported website traffic analyser, Webalizer.
