I Want A Linux/Unix Utility To ... - Update 24th January 2007
|
Not much time to do much work on the list this week. The Menlo Park campus is ground-zero for all of the Sun Accessibility Program Office team for the next few days, so I have three days of meetings. |
I have made the following changes though:
- Remove the word "Freeware" from the document title as it was
confusing some people.
- Added in several more entries from the original Windows Freeware
list (initially as red balled unknown applications), plus a couple
from Joanie. (If you have others you'd like to see added please
let me know).
- Integrated in suggestions via comments to the 17th Jan 2007
blog post.
- Added in proper alt="..." tags for the various HTML image definitions.
