In browsing through the early volumes of X archives (1 thru 5), I found a
helpful file in each archive containing a summary of what was in the archive.
Lines in the file were like the following example:

dclock/part01	dclock: A digital clock widget and driver, Part01/01

Volumes 6 and above don't seem to have any summary files, and it's
often impossible to guess the program's function from its name.  Does anyone
have such a summary for these later archives?  (BTW, I was browsing on uunet).
