xeartk is a tkgeomap application that uses the geomap::wdgeomap command
to create an interactive map. The geographic data is from the xearth
root window program. by Kirk Lauritz Johnson in an interactive widget.
xeartk is not part of and does not require xearth. It only uses the
outline data defined in file mapdata.c of the xearth source
distribution. The cities are from factmonster.
Adjust the map view by Shift-Double-Clicking or Shift-Dragging. Double
click a dot to display information about the city there on the terminal.

ptiger is a Tcl/Tk/Tkgeomap script that uses wdgeomap to display U.S.
Census Burea populated places on an interactive geographic map.
To run it, type ptiger on the command line. After a few seconds, a map
should appear. Adjust the view by Dragging or Double-Clicking. As the
cursor moves, a label below the map displays the cursor location and
the azimuth and range from the + marker to the cursor. Move the + marker
by Right-Double-Clicking. The map has dots at places with population
greater than a user selected threshold. Moving the cursor over a dot
labels the place with its name and displays the population in another
label below the map. In addition to the wdgeomap menus, a Places menu
enables adjustment of the population threshold and dot size. There is
also a Find menu that does a case insensitive regular expression search
for a named place.

Tkgeomap is an open source set of extensions to the Tcl/Tk scripting
language. It adds commands that read, manipulate, and display geographic
data.
It provides four packages:
* tclgeomap - library written in C adds commands for basic geography
calculations and data access.
* tclgeomap_procs - library written in Tcl adds procedures that
supplement tclgeomap.
* tkgeomap - library written in C that adds the ability to draw maps
* tkgeomap_procs - library written in Tcl adds procedures that
supplement tkgeomap.

sources. Includes PLAN404 series for positions of the planets, and a long-term
extension of modern Lunar theory for the Moon's position. Reads ASCII file
catalogues of stars and orbital elements. Displays all adjustments as it finds
local azimuth and elevation, rise and set times, etc.

weather looks like outside, in ASCII art. It includes rain, snow,
lightning, sleet, and hail. The windspeed and cloudiness are reflected
in the velocity and quantity of clouds. There are trees that age,
reproduce and die over the course of an hour, and a sun and moon that
follow the actual sun and moonrise. There's also a dancing turtle.

whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips,
or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit such as those from Garmin and
Magellan. By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs
for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability
to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we
choose to use.
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for
server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.

gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially

This version of SETI@home is based on BOINC (Berkeley Open
Infrastructure for Network Computing). Several other projects
besides SETI@home are using BOINC. BOINC lets you participate in
more than one project, and it lets you specify what fraction of
your computer time should go to each project.
This port requires net/boinc-client and together these supersede
the astro/setiathome port which is now known as SETI-Classic.
