The most useful seejpeg: feature of seejpeg is that it automatically decides on the 'best' seejpeg: video mode to use based on the image being displayed and the video seejpeg: card being used. To aid it, various hints may be given as program seejpeg: options. In the worst case, it may be overridden. seejpeg: seejpeg: seejpeg: dosemu.53p28: An MSDOS emulator. dosemu.53p28: dosemu.53p28: This package allows you to run MS-DOS under Linux by setting up dosemu.53p28: a virtual machine (DOS box) capable of servicing BIOS calls and dosemu.53p28: other requirements of DOS while Linux continues to run in dosemu.53p28: protected mode.

I really don't know. manpagesrc: manpagesrc: manpagesrc: manpagesrc: manpagesrc: manpagesrc: ncurses-185: An unpatched version of ncurses 1.85 ncurses-185: ncurses-185: The ncurses 1.85 in Slackware's D series has a few unofficial ncurses-185: patches added to it. This version is included in case these ncurses-185: changes bug any of the purists, so they can't say I forced anything ncurses-185: on them. :^) ncurses-185: ncurses-185: I think most things work best with the version on the D series, and ncurses-185: I'm told some of the changes will show up in ncurses 1.86. ncurses-185: ncurses-185: nvi: nvi - 'vi' clone. nvi: nvi: Version 1.34 of nex/nvi, a freely redistributable replacement for the nvi: Berkeley ex and vi text editors. nvi: nvi: nvi: nvi: nvi: nvi: nvi: pdksh: pdksh 5.0.6 pdksh: pdksh: A freely distributable Korn shell clone. pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: perl-5.000: Perl-5.000 perl-5.000: perl-5.000: Version 5.000 of Perl -- Larry Wall's interpreted systems language. perl-5.000: perl-5.000: perl-5.000: perl-5.000: perl-5.000: perl-5.000: perl-5.000: perl-5.000: samba-1.8.05: Samba 1.8.05 samba-1.8.05: samba-1.8.05: Samba is a Unix based SMB file server. This allows a Unix host to samba-1.8.05: act as a file and print server for SMB clients. This includes samba-1.8.05: Lan-Manager compatible clients such as LanManager for DOS, Windows samba-1.8.05: for Workgroups, Windows NT, OS/2, Pathworks and many more. If you samba-1.8.05: have any PCs running SMB clients, such as a PC running Windows for samba-1.8.05: Workgroups, then you can mount file space or printers from a Linux samba-1.8.05: host, so that directories, files and printers on the Linux host samba-1.8.05: are available on the PC. samba-1.8.05: sample_users: sample users 'gonzo', 'snake', and 'satan' sample_users: sample_users: If you install this package, 3 sample users will be created sample_users: (gonzo, snake, satan). This package was once part of the AP disk sample_users: series, but too many people installed it without noticing, and it sample_users: was becoming the best known backdoor into Linux boxes all over the sample_users: Internet (!). This package stems from a time before the "adduser" sample_users: utility was put in Slackware, so it really isn't all that helpful sample_users: anymore. You could use "adduser" to create some sample accounts sample_users: nearly as easily sample_users: smail: Ian Kluft's Linux port of Smail 3.1.28. smail: smail: Smail is a mail-handling system. Some find it easier to maintain and smail: configure than BSD sendmail, especially for use with UUCP. It comes smail: with many documentation and sample files. Look in smail: /usr/lib/smail/tools.linux for the HOWTO file that will help you get smail: started. smail: smail: smail: smail: termify: termify-0.3 termify: termify: Termify converts dynamically linked binaries for term use by changing termify: the name of the standard library from libc.so.4 to libt.so.4. Both termify: libraries should be installed in /lib. Termify will take the termify: specified command, and create a termified binary with the correct termify: permissions in the current directory. For example: termify: termify: termify /bar/foo termify: termify: Will create ./termfoo in the current directory. uucp-1.04-info: Info files for UUCP 1.04 uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: This package installs info files for the Taylor UUCP 1.04 uucp-1.04-info: package into /usr/info. uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04-info: uucp-1.04: Taylor UUCP 1.04 uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: This is a well tested version of UUCP that is included as an uucp-1.04: alternate version. (The N series has Taylor UUCP 1.05) uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: uucp-1.04: xgrabsc: A screengrabber for X. xgrabsc: xgrabsc: Xgrabsc and xgrab allow you do take PostScript shapshots of individual xgrabsc: X clients, regions of the X screen, or the entire screen. xgrabsc: xgrabsc: xgrabsc: xgrabsc: xgrabsc: xgrabsc: xgrabsc:
