These are descriptions of the packages in the Slackware contrib directory: amp: amp 0.7.6 amp: amp: amp is a command line MP3 player. It's written by Tomislav Uzelac amp: and is supported by many frontends available on the Internet. Most amp: of the current MP3 players out there got their start by using amp amp: as a code base. amp: amp: REQUIREMENTS: Well, you'll probably want to have an MP3 file or amp: two and also sound support in your kernel (/dev/dsp). :) amp: amp: bash-2.03: GNU bash-2.03. bash-2.03: bash-2.03: The GNU Bourne-Again SHell. Bash is a sh-compatible command bash-2.03: interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or bash-2.03: from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn bash-2.03: and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is ultimately intended to be a bash-2.03: conformant implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools bash-2.03: specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2). bash-2.03: bash-2.03: bash-2.03: bind-4: bind-4.9.7-REL. bind-4: bind-4: The named daemon and support utilities such as dig, dnsquery, host, bind-4: nslookup, nsquery, and nstest. Documentation on setting up a name bind-4: server can be found in /usr/doc/bind-4.9.7-REL/. bind-4: cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10. cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10: CVS is a freely available collection of programs that provide for cvs-1.10: software release and revision control functions in a UNIX cvs-1.10: environment. cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10: cvs-1.10: diald-0.16.5: diald-0.16.5. diald-0.16.5: diald-0.16.5: Diald is a daemon that provides on demand IP links via SLIP or diald-0.16.5: PPP. The purpose of diald is to make it transparently appear that diald-0.16.5: you have a permanent connection to a remote site. Diald sets up a diald-0.16.5: "proxy" device which stands in for the physical connection to a diald-0.16.5: remote site. It then monitors the proxy, waiting for packets to diald-0.16.5: arrive. When interesting packets arrive it will attempt to diald-0.16.5: establish the physical link to the remote site using either SLIP diald-0.16.5: or PPP, and if it succeeds it will forward traffic from the proxy diald-0.16.5: to the physical link. fvwm-1.23b: FVWM version 1.23b fvwm-1.23b: fvwm-1.23b: Fvwm is a window manager for X11. It is a derivative of twm, fvwm-1.23b: redesigned to minimize memory consumption, provide a 3-D look to fvwm-1.23b: window frames, and provide a simple virtual desktop. fvwm-1.23b: fvwm-1.23b: fvwm-1.23b: fvwm-1.23b: fvwm-1.23b: fvwm-1.23b: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1. gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: The GNU C compiler and support files (v. 2.8.1) gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: gcc-2.8.1: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6 development package (preliminary) glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: See the README file for this; don't say you weren't warned. glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: glibc-2.0.7pre6: ircd: ircd - The Internet Relay Chat Program Server ircd: ircd is the server (daemon) program for the Internet Relay ircd: Chat Program. The ircd is a server in that its function ircd: is to "serve" the client program irc(1) with messages and ircd: commands. All commands and user messages are passed ircd: directly to the ircd for processing and relaying to other ircd: ircd sites. The irc(1) program depends upon there being ircd: an ircd server running somewhere (either on your local ircd: UNIX site or a remote ircd site) so that it will have ircd: somewhere to connect to and thus allow the user to begin ircd: talking to other users. icewm: This is icewm-0.8.9, a window manager for X11. icewm: icewm: The goal of IceWM is to provide a small, fast and familiar window icewm: manager for the X11 window system. Compatibility with the mwm window icewm: manager is desired and will be implemented where appropriate. icewm: icewm: The IceWM is designed to emulate the look of Motif, OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 icewm: Warp 3 and Windows 95. Others might added in the future. icewm: icewm: It also tries to combine the feel of the above systems whenever it is icewm: compatible. blackbox: blackbox-0.50.2 blackbox: blackbox: BlackBox is a lean and clean X11 window manager. blackbox: blackbox: blackbox: blackbox: blackbox: blackbox: blackbox: blackbox: wmaker: This is WindowMaker-0.51.2, a window magager for X11. wmaker: wmaker: Window Maker is a X11 window manager with a NEXTSTEP look. wmaker: It tries to emulate NeXT's look as much as possible, but wmaker: it deviates from it as necessary. wmaker: wmaker: wmaker: wmaker: wmaker: wmaker: 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. noweb-2.8a: noweb-2.8a: 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-9.0: Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow emacspeak-9.0: someone who cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system. emacspeak-9.0: (Until now, the only option available to visually impaired emacspeak-9.0: users has been to use a talking PC as a terminal.) emacspeak-9.0: Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs. Once you start emacs emacspeak-9.0: with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken feedback for emacspeak-9.0: everything you do. Your mileage will vary depending on emacspeak-9.0: how well you can use Emacs. There is nothing that you emacspeak-9.0: cannot do inside Emacs :-). This package supports the emacspeak-9.0: DECtalk Express and DECtalk MultiVoice speech emacspeak-9.0: synthesizers. For other synthesizers, look for separate emacspeak-9.0: driver packages. qv-utils: qv-utils. qv-utils: qv-utils: This package contains utilities for use with Casio's QV-10, QV-10a, qv-utils: QV-11, QV-30, QV-100, and QV-300 digital cameras. It may also work qv-utils: with other Casio cameras. qv-utils: qv-utils: qv-utils: qv-utils: qv-utils: qv-utils: xcdroast: xcdroast-0.96e. xcdroast: xcdroast: xcdroast is an X11 based frontend for programs like cdrecord and xcdroast: mkisofs. With a few simple mouse clicks you can copy or create your xcdroast: own CDs, without long study of any command line parameters. xcdroast: xcdroast: xcdroast: xcdroast: xcdroast: xcdroast: afterstep: AfterStep 1.0 afterstep: afterstep: AfterStep is a window manager with quite an interesting history. It afterstep: was originally a continuation of the Bowman window manager (based on afterstep: fvwm), but is now its own project. This is a classic version of afterstep: AfterStep, which offers a single configuration file (.steprc) and afterstep: NEXTSTEP-like widgets. It's a lean, mean, window managing machine. afterstep: afterstep: For the new version of AfterStep, check out http://www.afterstep.org afterstep: afterstep:
