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: seejpeg: seejpeg v1.6.1 seejpeg: seejpeg: seejpeg is Evan Harris's JPEG viewer which utilizes svgalib and seejpeg: contains limited GIF, PPM and TARGA viewing support. 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. It runs most MS-DOS software that doesn't require dosemu.53p28: DOS extenders, etc, including Windows 3.0 in real mode. dosemu.53p28: dosemu.53p28: Configuration instructions are placed in /usr/doc/dosemu. dosemu.53p28: dosemu.53p28: httpd: NCSA httpd Web server. httpd: httpd: This is NCSA's public domain HTTP server. It allows your machine to httpd: act as a server for World Wide Web clients such as Mosaic, Lynx, and httpd: Netscape. httpd: httpd: This server was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing httpd: Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. httpd: httpd: httpd: ircII+term: ircII2.3.17+tv1.1 with term support ircII+term: ircII+term: This is a version of IRC (Internet Relay Chat) for the systems ircII+term: running TERM 2.x.x. It also includes voice support and other ircII+term: extra features. ircII+term: ircII+term: ircII+term: ircII+term: ircII+term: ircII+term: ircII: ircII2.3.17+tv1.1 for TCP/IP ircII: ircII: This is a version of IRC (Internet Relay Chat) for the systems ircII: with direct TCP/IP access (including SLIP/PPP). It also includes ircII: voice support and other extra features. ircII: ircII: ircII: ircII: ircII: ircII: g77: GNU FORTRAN-77 0.5.16 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: 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 5.2.3 pdksh: pdksh: A freely distributable Korn shell clone. pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: pdksh: samba-1.9.17p2: Samba 1.9.17p2 samba-1.9.17p2: samba-1.9.17p2: Samba is a Unix based SMB file server. This allows a Unix samba-1.9.17p2: host to act as a file and print server for SMB clients. This samba-1.9.17p2: includes Lan-Manager compatible clients such as LanManager samba-1.9.17p2: for DOS, Windows95, Windows NT, OS/2, Pathworks and many more. samba-1.9.17p2: If you have any PCs running SMB clients, such as a PC running samba-1.9.17p2: Windows95, then you can mount file space or printers from a samba-1.9.17p2: Linux host, so that directories, files and printers on the samba-1.9.17p2: Linux host are available on the PC. samba-1.9.17p2: 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: 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: 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: lprng: LPRng - An Extended Print Spooler System v.3.1.3. lprng: lprng: The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable version of lprng: the Berkeley LPR software. While providing the same general lprng: functionality, the implementation is completely new and provides lprng: support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed)lprng: lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; lprng: automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers lprng: serving a single queue; client programs do not need to run SUID root; lprng: greatly enhanced security checks; and a greatly improved permission lprng: and authorization mechanism.
