With apsfilter installed and apsfilt: configured, you can print many different file types (like ASCII, apsfilt: PostScript, and DVI, as well as compressed versions of all of these) apsfilt: directly with 'lpr', and apsfilter will automatically handle the apsfilt: conversion process on the fly. apsfilt: apsfilt: To configure apsfilter, run the SETUP program in /usr/lib/apsfilter. apsfilt: apsfilt: ash: Kenneth Almquist's ash shell. ash: ash: A lightweight (62K) Bourne compatible shell. Great for machines with ash: low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash, ash: tcsh, and zsh. Runs most shell scripts compatible with the Bourne ash: shell. Note that under Linux, most scripts seem to use at least some ash: bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup scripts are a notable ash: exception, since ash is the shell used on the install disks. NetBSD ash: uses ash as its /bin/sh. ash: ash: bc: GNU bc 1.05a - An arbitrary precision calculator language. bc: bc: bc is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with bc: interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in bc: the syntax to the C programming language. bc: bc: bc: bc: bc: bc: cdutils: Tools for mastering and writing compact discs. cdutils: cdutils: Contains these utilities: cdutils: cdutils: cdwrite -- burn discs in some CD-R drives from Philips/IMS/Kodak, cdutils: Yamaha, and HP. cdutils: cdrecord -- burn discs in most ATAPI and SCSI CD-R drives. cdutils: mkisofs -- create ISO9660 filesystem images. cdutils: mkhybrid -- create hybrid ISO9660/HFS/Joliet CD-ROM images. cdutils: cdutils: diff: GNU diffutils-2.7 diff: diff: The GNU diff utilities - finds differences between files. (to make diff: source code patches, for instance) diff: diff: diff: diff: diff: diff: diff: enscript: GNU enscript 1.6.1 enscript: enscript: Enscript converts text files to PostScript and spools the generated enscript: output to a printer or saves it to a file. If no input files are enscript: given, enscript processes standard input. Enscript can be extended to enscript: handle different output media and it has many options for customizing enscript: printouts. enscript: enscript: enscript: enscript: ghostscr: Ghostscript version 5.10 ghostscr: ghostscr: Preview, print and process PostScript documents on both PostScript and ghostscr: non-PostScript devices. If you need X11 support, you should also ghostscr: install the package 'gs_x11' found on the XAP series. It contains a ghostscr: /usr/bin/gs with support for X11. ghostscr: ghostscr: ghostscr: ghostscr: ghostscr: groff: GNU troff 1.11a document formatting system. groff: groff: The groff package provides versions of troff, nroff, eqn, tbl, and groff: other Unix text-formatting utilities. Groff is used to 'compile' man groff: pages stored in groff/nroff format into a form which can be printed or groff: displayed on the screen. These man pages are stored in compressed groff: form in the /usr/man/man? directories. groff: groff: groff: groff: gsfonts: Fonts for the Ghostscript interpreter/previewer. gsfonts: gsfonts: These fonts come from ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10.tar.gz and gsfonts: ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz. gsfonts: gsfonts: gsfonts: gsfonts: gsfonts: gsfonts: gsfonts: ispell: ispell-3.1.20 ispell: ispell: Ispell is a fast screen-oriented spelling checker that shows you your ispell: errors in the context of the original file, and suggests possible ispell: corrections when it can figure them out. Compared to UNIX spell, it ispell: is faster and much easier to use. Ispell can also handle languages ispell: other than English. Ispell has a long history, and many people have ispell: contributed to the current version -- some of the major contributors ispell: include R. E. Gorin, Pace Willisson, Walt Buehring, and Geoff ispell: Kuenning. ispell: jed: John E. Davis's JED 0.98-7 editor. jed: jed: JED is an extremely powerful but small emacs programmer's editor that jed: is extensible in a C-like macro language and is able to perform color jed: syntax highlighting. Among the many features: jed: Emacs, wordstar, EDT emulation; jed: C, Fortran, TeX, text editing modes; Full undo; jed: GNU Emacs compatible info reader, and lots more. jed: jed: 8 bit clean, so you can even edit binary files! jed: joe: Joe text editor v2.8 joe: joe: Joseph H. Allen's easy to use text editor, similar to WordStar[tm]. joe: joe: joe: joe: joe: joe: joe: joe: jove: Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs (4.14.10) jove: jove: A mostly Emacs compatible text editor, with man pages and the jove: 'teachjove' tutorial program. If you'd rather have the real thing, jove: the actual Emacs editor/environment is available in series 'E'. jove: jove: jove: jove: jove: jove: manpages: Man-pages 1.24 manpages: manpages: Man pages are online documentation for Linux. This package includes manpages: many section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 man pages for Linux. manpages: manpages: The man-pages distribution is maintained by Andries E. Brouwer with manpages: the help of more writers, editors, and other contributors than we manpages: can name here. (See the list in /usr/man/man-pages-1.24.Announce) manpages: manpages: manpages: mc: mc-4.5.39 mc: mc: The Midnight Commander is a Norton Commander clone, a program that mc: manipulates and manages files and directories. Useful, fast, and has mc: color displays on the Linux console. Mouse support is provided mc: through the gpm mouse server. This is a lightweight compilation of mc: mc for use on the text console or in an xterm. mc: mc: mc was written by Miguel de Icaza and Mauricio Plaza. mc: mc: mt_st: mt-st-0.4 - controls magnetic tape drive operation mt_st: mt_st: This mt originates from BSD NET-2. Some Linux SCSI tape-specific mt_st: ioctls have been added to the original source and the man page has mt_st: been updated. Although this mt program is tailored for SCSI tape, it mt_st: can also be used with the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with other Linux mt_st: tape drivers using the same ioctls (some of the commands may not work mt_st: with all drivers). mt_st: mt_st: mt_st: quota: Linux disk quota utilities (1.70) quota: quota: An implementation of the diskquota system for the Linux operating quota: system -- keeps those greedy users from gobbling up 100% of the hard quota: drive space. Should work for all filesystems because of integration quota: into the VFS layer of the operating system. This system is a heavily quota: modified version of the Melbourne quota system by Robert Elz, which quota: uses both user and group quota files. Edvard Tuinder and quota: Marco van Wieringen are responsible for the quota: additional code and porting effort to make quotas work on Linux. quota: raidtool: raidtools-0.41 raidtool: raidtool: Utilities required to support RAID-1/4/5. Its main goal is to group raidtool: several disks or partitions together, making them look like a single raidtool: block device. For updated information on the RAID-1/4/5 raidtool: personalities, please read the QuickStart.RAID in raidtool: /usr/doc/raidtools-0.41. raidtool: raidtool: raidtool: raidtool: rpm: rpm-3.0.2 rpm: rpm: RPM is a tool from Red Hat Software used to install and remove rpm: packages in the .rpm format. When installing RPM packages on rpm: Slackware, you may need to use the --nodeps and --force options. rpm: Before installing any binary package, it's wise to examine it to rpm: see what it's going to do, and if it will overwrite any files. You rpm: can use rpm2tgz to convert .rpm packages to .tgz packages so you rpm: can look them over. (in fact, it might be safer to install the rpm: resulting .tgz with 'installpkg') rpm: sc: The 'sc' spreadsheet. (v. 6.21) sc: sc: This is a simple spreadsheet program. sc: sc: sc: sc: sc: sc: sc: sc: seejpeg: seejpeg-1.6.1 seejpeg: seejpeg: Seejpeg is an image viewer which uses SVGAlib. In spite of the name, seejpeg: it understands the JPEG, GIF, PPM, BMP and TARGA formats. One nice seejpeg: feature of seejpeg is that it automatically decides on the best video seejpeg: mode to use based on the image being displayed and the video card seejpeg: being used. seejpeg: seejpeg: Evan Harris is the author of seejpeg. seejpeg: seejpeg: sox: sox-12.15 sox: sox: Sox is a universal sound converter, player, and recorder. It can sox: play, record, and convert between several sound file formats such as sox: .au, .snd, .voc and .wav. sox: sox: sox: sox: sox: sox: sudo: sudo-1.5.9p4-1 sudo: sudo: 'sudo' is a command that allows users to execute some commands as sudo: root. The /etc/sudoers file (edited with 'visudo') specifies which sudo: users have access to sudo and which commands they can run. 'sudo' sudo: logs all its activities to /var/log/ so the system administrator sudo: can keep an eye on things. sudo: sudo: sudo: sudo: texinfo: GNU texinfo-3.12 texinfo: texinfo: 'Texinfo' is a documentation system that uses a single source file to texinfo: produce both on-line information and printed output. Using Texinfo, texinfo: you can create a printed document with the normal features of a book, texinfo: including chapters, sections, cross references, and indices. From the texinfo: same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, on-line Info texinfo: file with nodes, menus, cross references, and indices. texinfo: texinfo: This package is needed to read the documentation files in /usr/info. texinfo: vim: Version 5.5 of Vim: Vi IMproved vim: vim: Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi. Only the vim: 'Q' command is missing (you don't need it). Many new features have vim: been added: multi level undo, command line history, filename vim: completion, block operations, etc. vim: vim: vim: vim: vim: workbone: Workbone 2.31-5 workbone: workbone: Text-based audio CD player. workbone: workbone: workbone: workbone: workbone: workbone: workbone: workbone: zsh: zsh version 3.0.6 zsh: zsh: Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) which of the standard shells zsh: most resembles the Korn shell (ksh), although it is not completely zsh: compatible. It includes enhancements of many types, notably in the zsh: command-line editor, options for customizing its behavior, filename zsh: globbing, features to make C-shell (csh) users feel more at home and zsh: extra features drawn from tcsh (another 'custom' shell). Zsh was zsh: written by Paul Falstad. zsh: zsh:
