X-WINDOW WORKBENCH

Product Xwb (X-window-workbench)     [Screenshot]
Current version 3.1. Currently working on new xwb2, based on qt
Last date of change May 2003
Description Tool for editing source files of any programming language and text processor. Behaviour for compiling and executing the target file is set up individually by recognizing the file name extension.
Any type of file type characterisation can be added;
The following file types are already predefined:

MAKE, C, C++, Java, TeX/LaTeX, POV, HTML, CSH and PERL.
Readme documents as well as X-Icons/Compressed images.

A parser for compiler error messages enables efficient software development; multiple-file editing is provided for projects.

Problems may occur due to conflicts of Xview and the kde window manager (the Xview library is a nearly expired library meanwhile); runs best with window-managers like fvwm, twm.

The next version will be based on qt, which works much better with newer X11 versions.

X-WINDOW FLOATING FILE MENU

Product Xffm (X-window-floating-file menu)     [Screenshot]
Current version 1.0
Last date of change 21.07.97
Description

Window menu reading in the standard fvwm resource files and
creating an file-cabinet-like menu instead of the usual cascaded popup menu. At first only the zero-hierarchie title of the file-sheets is visible. When you move the mouse on it, the sheets is lifted slightly - after selecting it with the mouse button, it displays the menu.

Concept can be included in a window manager.
