- The staff at Demo-Files.com wrote in to promote their new site, which will include specific listings and descriptions for Linux demo releases.
- Freshmeat updated regarding the release of Umodunpack version 0.3, a Perl script which can unpack Unreal Tournament mod files. Version 0.3 adds the ability to extract specific file patterns; the script can be downloaded from http://www.deepsky.com/~misaka/umodunpack.pl
