These are descriptions of the packages in the Slackware contrib directory: auis635L1-mail: Andrew User Interface System - Mail System auis635L1-mail: auis635L1-mail: This package is aimed at those needing A BETTER MAIL INTERFACE auis635L1-mail: and those interested in a MULTI-MEDIA (MIME) MAIL INTERFACE auis635L1-mail: auis635L1-mail: REQUIREMENTS: auis635L1-mail: YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED AUIS63L2-WP.TGZ FIRST. auis635L1-mail: /bin/csh (e.g. ln -sf /bin/tcsh /bin/csh) auis635L1-mail: X Window System auis635L1-mail: A WORKING MAIL SYSTEM (using mail/elm or whatever). auis635L1-mail: auis635L1-src: Andrew User Interface System - For the Programmer auis635L1-src: auis635L1-src: This package is aimed at the SOURCE CODE DEVELOPER. auis635L1-src: auis635L1-src: REQUIREMENTS: auis635L1-src: YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED AUIS63L2-WP.TGZ FIRST. auis635L1-src: /bin/csh (e.g. ln -sf /bin/tcsh /bin/csh) auis635L1-src: X Window System auis635L1-src: auis635L1-src: auis635L1-src: auis635L1-wp: Andrew User Interface System - Word Processing auis635L1-wp: auis635L1-wp: This package is aimed at the WORD PROCESSING audience. auis635L1-wp: auis635L1-wp: ALSO REQUIRES: auis635L1-wp: /bin/csh (e.g. ln -sf /bin/tcsh /bin/csh) auis635L1-wp: X Window System auis635L1-wp: auis635L1-wp: auis635L1-wp: auis635L1-wp: ircd21002: ircd - The Internet Relay Chat Program Server ircd21002: ircd is the server (daemon) program for the Internet Relay ircd21002: Chat Program. The ircd is a server in that its function ircd21002: is to "serve" the client program irc(1) with messages and ircd21002: commands. All commands and user messages are passed ircd21002: directly to the ircd for processing and relaying to other ircd21002: ircd sites. The irc(1) program depends upon there being ircd21002: an ircd server running somewhere (either on your local ircd21002: UNIX site or a remote ircd site) so that it will have ircd21002: somewhere to connect to and thus allow the user to begin ircd21002: talking to other users. ircii-4.4: IRC clients ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: Contains the ircii-4.4 IRC client, as well as the ircii-pana_0.74p2 ircii-4.4: (BitchX) IRC client. ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: ircii-4.4: noweb-2.8a: Noweb is a literate-programming tool like FunnelWEB or nuweb, only noweb-2.8a: simpler. A noweb file contains program source code interleaved with noweb-2.8a: documentation. When noweb is invoked, it writes the program source noweb-2.8a: code to the output files mentioned in the noweb file, and it writes noweb-2.8a: a TeX file for typeset documentation. The author recommends using noweb-2.8a: LaTeX; noweb comes with an efficient LaTeX->HTML converter, so the noweb-2.8a: resulting programs can easily be browsed on the World-Wide Web. noweb-2.8a: More info can be found at URL http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~nr/noweb noweb-2.8a: and on the USENET news group comp.programming.literate. nvi-1.79: nvi - 'vi' clone. nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: Version 1.79 of nex/nvi, a freely redistributable replacement for the nvi-1.79: Berkeley ex and vi text editors. nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: nvi-1.79: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-5.2.13 pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: A freely distributable Korn shell clone. pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: pdksh-2.1.13: 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: f2c: A Fortran-77 to C translator. f2c: f2c: Contains libf2c.so.0.11, ported by Rob Hooft. This package uses f2c: an 'f77' script that hides the C translation process from the user. f2c: f2c: f2c: f2c: f2c: f2c: f2c: readline-2.1: GNU readline-2.1 readline-2.1: readline-2.1: This is a binary package containing the GNU readline library, readline-2.1: header files, and documentation. Readline is a library used to readline-2.1: facilitate easy command line input and editing in user programs. readline-2.1: readline-2.1: readline-2.1: readline-2.1: readline-2.1: readline-2.1: emacspeak: emacspeak 6.0 emacspeak: emacspeak: Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow emacspeak: someone who cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system. emacspeak: (Until now, the only option available to visually impaired emacspeak: users has been to use a talking PC as a terminal.) emacspeak: Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs. Once you start emacs emacspeak: with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken feedback for emacspeak: everything you do. Your mileage will vary depending on emacspeak: how well you can use Emacs. There is nothing that you emacspeak: cannot do inside Emacs :-). This package supports the emacspeak: DECtalk Express and DECtalk MultiVoice speech emacspeak: synthesizers. For other synthesizers, look for separate emacspeak: driver packages. emacspeak-dt: emacspeak-dt 0.15 emacspeak-dt: emacspeak-dt: Emacspeak by T. V. Raman enables blind users to use emacspeak-dt: emacs with a DECtalk speech synthesizer. With this emacspeak-dt: driver, it can also be used with the DoubleTalk LT emacspeak-dt: synthesizer. emacspeak-dt:
