Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8-bit The AfterStep window manager combines convenient, useful features with the attractive look of the NEXTSTEP(R) interface. NEXTSTEP(R)-style features include the the title bar, title buttons, borders, icons and menus. The most prominent addition to the interface is AfterStep's Wharf, a customized version of the GoodStuff panel (an fvwm window manager bar of application icons). AfterStep's Wharf is a free-floating application loader which can swallow running programs and contain folders of more applications. AfterStep also includes easy to use 'look' files, so you can share your desktop appearance. You need to install AfterStep if you want to use the AfterStep window manager. You should also install AfterStep and try it out if you haven't decided which X Window System window manager you want to use, or just to keep your window management options open.User Interface/DesktopsAn X window manager which emulates the look and feel of NEXTSTEP(R).The AfterStep-APPS package includes a group of applications for use with the AfterStep window manager. Applications in this package include an Advanced Power Management system monitor for laptops (asapm), a CPU load monitor (ascpu), a simple state machine (asexec), a filesystem monitor (asfsm), a CPU load monitor for use with the PROC filesystem (asload), a mail checker (asmail), a memory utilization monitor (asmem), a volume controller knob for the /dev/mixer device (asmix), a volume controller for various sound inputs (asmixer), a modem status monitor (asmodem), an analog clock (astime), a color VT102 emulator (aterm), an audio CD player (ascd), a clock (asclock), and a control panel for configuring AfterStep (ascp). Install AfterStep-APPS if you're planning to use the AfterStep window manager.User Interface/DesktopsVarious applets for use with AfterStep and compatible window managers.AnotherLevel is a custom configuration of the fvwm2 window manager. AnotherLevel is based on TheNextLevel, a desktop configuration which won the 1996 Red Hat Desktop Contest, and is designed to be easily configured by the user. Most attributes may be redefined by copying the file /etc/X11/AnotherLevel/fvwm2rc.defines to a user's home directory, renaming it to .fvwm2rc.defines and modifying the copied file as necessary. Install AnotherLevel if you've used the AnotherLevel window manager before and you liked it, or if you haven't decided which X window manager to use, or if you want to keep your window management options open.User Interface/DesktopsA customized configuration of the fvwm2 window manager.ElectricFence is a utility for C programming and debugging. ElectricFence uses the virtual memory hardware of your system to detect when software overruns malloc() buffer boundaries, and/or to detect any accesses of memory released by free(). ElectricFence will then stop the program on the first instruction that caused a bounds violation and you can use your favorite debugger to display the offending statement. Install ElectricFence if you need a debugger to find malloc() violations.Development/ToolsA debugger which detects memory allocation violations.GXedit is a fast, easy-to-use editor which is both network- oriented and very secure. GXedit is a graphical text editor which features a toolbar, network bar and tooltips, spell checking, inline help, the ability to send text as e-mail, macros and more.

Archives are files which contain a collection of other files plus information about them, such as their file name, owner, timestamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1 tar. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are compatible with older cpio programs. When it is extracting files from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order. Install cpio if you need a program to manage file archives.Applications/ArchivingA GNU archiving program.Cpp (or cccp) is the GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor. Cpp is a macro processor which is used automatically by the C compiler to transform your program before actual compilation. It is called a macro processor because it allows you to define macros, abbreviations for longer constructs. The C preprocessor provides four separate functionalities: the inclusion of header files (files of declarations that can be substituted into your program); macro expansion (you can define macros, and the C preprocessor will replace the macros with their definitions throughout the program); conditional compilation (using special preprocessing directives, you can include or exclude parts of the program according to various conditions); and line control (if you use a program to combine or rearrange source files into an intermediate file which is then compiled, you can use line control to inform the compiler about where each source line originated). You should install this package if you are a C programmer and you use macros.Development/LanguagesThe GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor.Cproto generates function prototypes and variable declarations from C source code. Cproto can also convert function definitions between the old style and the ANSI C style. This conversion will overwrite the original files, however, so be sure to make a backup copy of your original files in case something goes wrong. Cproto uses a Yacc generated parser, so it shouldn't be confused by complex function definitions as much as other prototype generators. Cproto will be useful for C programmers, so install cproto if you are going to do any C programming.Development/ToolsGenerates function prototypes and variable declarations from C code.CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain security-oriented characteristics. You can use CrackLib to stop users from choosing passwords which would be easy to guess. CrackLib performs certain tests: it tries to generate words from a username and gecos entry and checks those words against the password; it checks for simplistic patterns in passwords; and it checks for the password in a dictionary. CrackLib is actually a library containing a particular C function which is used to check the password, as well as other C functions. Note that CrackLib is NOT a replacement for a passwd program; it must be used in conjunction with an existing passwd program. Install the cracklib package if you need a program to check users' passwords to see if they are at least minimally secure. If you install CrackLib, you'll also want to install the cracklib-dicts package.System Environment/LibrariesA password-checking library.The cracklib-dicts package includes the CrackLib (a password sanity checking program) dictionaries. CrackLib will need to use the dictionary appropriate to your system, which is normally in /usr/dict/words. Cracklib-dicts also contains the utilities necessary for the creation of new dictionaries. If you are installing CrackLib, you should also install cracklib-dicts.System Environment/LibrariesThe standard CrackLib dictionaries.The crontabs package contains root crontab files. Crontab is the program used to install, uninstall or list the tables used to drive the cron daemon. The cron daemon checks the crontab files to see when particular commands are scheduled to be executed. If commands are scheduled, it executes them. Crontabs handles a basic system function, so it should be installed on your system.System Environment/BaseRoot crontab files used to schedule the execution of programs.Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found in C source and header files. The index makes it easy for text editors or other utilities to locate the indexed items. Ctags can also generate a cross reference file which lists information about the various objects found in a set of C language files in human readable form. Exuberant Ctags improves on ctags because it can find all types of C language tags, including macro definitions, enumerated values (values inside enum{...}), function and method definitions, enum/struct/union tags, external function prototypes, typedef names and variable declarations. Exuberant Ctags is far less likely to be fooled by code containing #if preprocessor conditional constructs than ctags. Exuberant ctags supports output of Emacs style TAGS files and can be used to print out a list of selected objects found in source files. Install ctags if you are going to use your system for C programming.Development/ToolsA C programming language indexing and/or cross-reference tool.CVS (Concurrent Version System) is a version control system which can record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of every version of every file you've ever created. CVS also keeps a log of who, when and why changes occurred. CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of providing version control for a collection of files in a single directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These directories and files can then be combined together to form a software release. Install the cvs package if you need to use a version control system.Development/ToolsA version control system.CXHextris is a color version of the popular xhextris game, which is a Tetris-like game that uses hexagon shapes instead of square shapes.

You'll need to also install diffutils.Development/ToolsA utility which provides statistics based on the output of diff.Diffutils includes four utilities: diff, cmp, diff3 and sdiff. Diff compares two files and shows the differences, line by line. The cmp command shows the offset and line numbers where two files differ, or cmp can show the characters that differ between the two files. The diff3 command shows the differences between three files. Diff3 can be used when two people have made independent changes to a common original; diff3 can produce a merged file that contains both sets of changes and warnings about conflicts. The sdiff command can be used to merge two files interactively. Install diffutils if you need to compare text files.Applications/TextA GNU collection of diff utilities.Dip is a modem dialer.

ISA PnP cards use registers instead of jumpers for setting the board address and interrupt assignments. The cards also contain descriptions of the resources which need to be allocated. The BIOS on your system, or isapnptools, uses a protocol described in the specification to find all of the PnP boards and allocate the resources so that none of them conflict. Note that the BIOS doesn't do a very good job of allocating resources. So isapnptools is suitable for all systems, whether or not they include a PnP BIOS. In fact, a PnP BIOS adds some complications. A PnP BIOS may already activate some cards so that the drivers can find them. Then these tools can unconfigure them or change their settings, causing all sorts of nasty effects.

Tcl scripts longer than a few thousand lines become extremely difficult to maintain because the building blocks of vanilla Tcl are procedures and global variables. All of these building blocks must reside in a single global namespace and there is no support for protection or encapsulation. To help out with this problem, [incr Tcl] introduces the notion of objects. Each object is a bag of data with a set of procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are organized into "classes" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain. Install itcl if you're programming with Tcl, and you need the object-oriented functionality that [incr Tcl] can provide.Development/LanguagesObject-oriented mega-widgets for Tcl.Jade (James' DSSSL Engine) is an implementation of the DSSSL style language.Applications/TextA parser and tools for SGML plus DSSSL.JadeTeX contains the additional LaTeX macros necessary for taking Jade TeX output files and processing them as LaTeX files.Applications/PublishingLaTeX macros for converting Jade TeX output into DVI/PS/PDF.Jed is a fast, compact editor based on the S-lang screen library.
