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: Noweb is a literate-programming tool like FunnelWEB or nuweb, only noweb: simpler. A noweb file contains program source code interleaved with noweb: documentation. When noweb is invoked, it writes the program source noweb: code to the output files mentioned in the noweb file, and it writes a noweb: TeX file for typeset documentation. noweb: noweb: AUTHOR: noweb: noweb: Norman Ramsey, Bellcore. Internet address norman@bellcore.com. noweb: Noweb home page at ftp://bellcore.com/pub/norman/www/noweb/intro.html. noweb: 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-1.9.13: Samba 1.9.13 samba-1.9.13: samba-1.9.13: Samba is a Unix based SMB file server. This allows a Unix host to samba-1.9.13: act as a file and print server for SMB clients. This includes samba-1.9.13: Lan-Manager compatible clients such as LanManager for DOS, Windows samba-1.9.13: for Workgroups, Windows NT, OS/2, Pathworks and many more. If you samba-1.9.13: have any PCs running SMB clients, such as a PC running Windows for samba-1.9.13: Workgroups, then you can mount file space or printers from a Linux samba-1.9.13: host, so that directories, files and printers on the Linux host samba-1.9.13: are available on the PC. samba-1.9.13: 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: smail: Ian Kluft's Linux port of Smail 3.1.28. smail: smail: Smail is a mail-handling system. Some find it easier to maintain and smail: configure than BSD sendmail, especially for use with UUCP. It comes smail: with many documentation and sample files. Look in smail: /usr/lib/smail/tools.linux for the HOWTO file that will help you get smail: started. smail: smail: smail: smail: 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:
