I'd love to have xmmix work with Ubuntu.

Subject: Re: [cdesktopenv-devel] Other CDE and Motif related goodies out there
I’ve got a 0.15 of dtclock. The guy’s site still exists, but the cde
subdirectory is gone; however, it can still be found on archive.org:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080112194604/http://www.dynalabs.de/mxp/cde/software.html
but only a dead link to the 0.13 is there; however, there’s some info on
dtcm_holidays.
I dimly remember something with a memory leak in dtclock that got fixed at some
point; not sure which version fixed that.

Sun
keyboards and/or audio interfaces; but if someone wanted to use it as a
starting
point for similar functionality elsewhere, it might be easier than starting
from
scratch.

presumably a script calling dtpad) could not. That made me curious enough to
reverse-engineer the mechanism. So now you can do from a shell script
something
