First, let me say that I really appreciate the attention you're paying 
to all this, Darryl.  Having said that, I'll address your questions in 
each of your messages as well as I can.

Most of the entries in Phase2.txt were put there because I found 
references either on a school's website or on the website of the 
application in question to their actual current use in one or more 
schools.  Because of that, I can't say definitely which app "units" 
refers to, but I suspect it's GNU units.

As for GPS, you're right.  I've located it here:

ftp://ftp.mlb.co.jp/pub/linux/mld5/science/RPMS/gps-1.0-1_mlb1.i386.rpm
http://usi.olografix.org/down/gps-1.0.tar.gz
http://www.au.horde.org/pub/hpux/Gtk/gps-1.0/

I'd probably go with the second entry.  This brings up another point. 
Our App Index has an unfortunately large (and unfortunately growing) 
number of bad links.  I just don't have the time to go through and fix 
them all myself.  I could really use some help in that area. 
Eventually, I'd like to work with Freshmeat to keep our data in sync 
with their more-regularly-updated data, but for the moment we need to 
get our own house in order.
