a2ps converts ASCII text into PostScript. This feature is used by
apsfilter, for example, to pretty-print ASCII text.

Warning: a2ps is not able to convert complex unicode (UTF-8) text to
PostScript. Only language text which can be converted from UTF-8 to
latin encodings are supported.

Bash is an sh-compatible command interpreter that executes commands
read from standard input or from a file. Bash incorporates useful
features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is intended to
be a conformant implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools
specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).

Using bibview, entries in several BiB databases can be moved,
manipulated, created, and searched.

If you prefer German rather than English menus, copy the file
var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/BibView.ger to
var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/BibView.

This package provides a boot script that is used for boot cycle
detection to avoid unconditional reboot cycles on an unsupervised
system. For example, on INTEL IA32 the GNU GRUB multiboot loader is
used for this.

CDK is a widget set developed on top of the basic curses library. It
contains 21 ready to use widgets, some of which are: a text entry
field, a scrolling list, a selection list, an alphalist, a pull-down
menu, a radio list, a viewer widget, and a dialog box.

Common Lisp is a high-level, all-purpose programming language. CLISP is
an implementation of Common Lisp that closely follows the book "Common
Lisp - The Language" by Guy L. Steele Jr. This package includes an
interactive programming environment with an interpreter, a compiler,
and a debugger. Start this environment with the command 'clisp'.

CLISP documentation is placed in the following directories:

/usr/share/doc/packages/clisp/

/usr/share/doc/packages/clisp/doc/

As well as the conventional CLISP, this package also includes CLX, an
extension of CLISP for the X Window System. The X Window System must be
installed before running the clx command. The description of this CLX
version (new-clx) is placed in

/usr/share/doc/packages/clisp/clx/

with the file README. The subdirectory

/usr/share/doc/packages/clisp/clx/demos/

contains two nice applications.

The readline library is used by the Bourne Again shell (Bash, the
standard comand interpreter) for easy editing of command lines. This
includes history and search functionality.

This package includes an older version for compatibility reasons.

This program lets you use menus and dialog boxes in shell scripts.

Dvgt is a DVI previewer for console, terminals, and graphical terminals
like Tektronics or the good old XTerm. dvgt tries to fit the conditions
of the DVI files, therefore output on text terminals is not legible.

This package contains the complete GNU Emacs Lisp Library, Elib Version
1.0. Elib was developed as a library for Emacs-Lisp programs for the
same reasons that libg++ was developed for C++ programs.

Elib contains macros for:

- container data structures (queues, stacks, AVL trees, and more)

- string handling routines missing in standard Emacs

- routines to handle cookies in a buffer

Basic package for the GNU Emacs editor. Requires emacs-x11 or
emacs-nox.

These macros make it easier for you to write TeX documents with GNU
Emacs. Documentation can be found under:

/usr/share/doc/packages/emacs-auctex/

and in the dvi files math-ref.dvi and tex-ref.dvi (reference cards) and
in the info file auctex in emacs info-mode.

AuC TeX is integrated in XEmacs 19.15 and higher, so these packages may
not be installed concurrently. Note that the binary formats of the
byte-compiled lisp files of the two emacs editors are incompatible, so
you cannot use this package for XEmacs.

Enscript converts ASCII files to PostScript and writes the generated
output to a file or sends it directly to the printer.

The Enscript configuration file is in /etc/enscript.cfg.

Warning: enscript is not able to convert complex unicode (UTF-8) text
to PostScript. Only language text which can be converted from UTF-8 to
latin encodings are supported with the help of a wrapper script. ~ ~

With the file command, you can obtain information on the file type of a
specified file. File type recognition is controlled by the file
/etc/magic, which contains the classification criteria. This command is
used by apsfilter to permit automatic printing of different file types.

Ghostview offers an X11 GUI for viewing PostScript files. This is an
X11 interface to ghostscript.

GNUplot is a command line driven interactive function plotting utility.
GNUplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and
printers (including many color devices and pseudodevices like LaTeX)
and can easily be extended to include new devices.

GV offers you an X Window System GUI for viewing PostScript files. This
is an X Window System interface to ghostscript.

This package contains the CGI script 'info2html' that creates HTML pages
from info documents on demand, to be sent over the HTTP protocol.

Follow references to nodes in info documents to view the corresponding info
files in HTML.

Insserv enables an installed system init script (boot script) by
reading the comment header of the script and calculating the
dependencies between all scripts.

This package contains the READMEs for international fonts from the
following packages:

ifntarab: Arab fonts for X11

ifntasia: Asian fonts for X11

ifntchia: Chinese fonts for X11

ifntchib: Big Chinese fonts for X11

ifntethi: Ethiopic fonts for X11

ifnteuro: European fonts for X11

ifntjapa: Japanese fonts for X11

ifntjapb: Big Japanese fonts for X11

ifntphon: IPA fonts for X11

intlfonts-ttf: TrueType fonts

intlfonts-bdf: Bitmap fonts useful for printing exotic languages from
Emacs

Ispell is a fast, screen-oriented spell checker that shows you your
errors in the context of the original file and suggests possible
corrections when it can figure them out. Compared to UNIX spell, it is
faster and much easier to use. Ispell can also handle languages other
than English. Ispell has a long history and many people have
contributed to the current version--some of the major contributors
include R. E. Gorin, Pace Willisson, Walt Buehring, and Geoff Kuenning.

You can find a short description in the directory
/usr/share/doc/packages/ispell/.

The original Korn Shell. The ksh is an sh-compatible command
interpreter that executes commands read from standard input or from a
file.

The readline library is used by the Bourne Again Shell (bash, the
standard command interpreter) for easy editing of command lines. This
includes history and search functionality.

Libzio provides a wrapper function for reading or writing gzip or bzip2
files with FILE streams.
