| apache | This version of the Apache HTTP server has been compiled with the additional modules mod_perl and PHP3, which allows database access to mySQL, PostgreSQL and ADABAS D (on INTEL machines only). Install the packages mod_php and mod_perl to gain these features. The Apache HTTP server. Very few programs have spread so quickly and attracted such a large following in such a short time as this HTTP server. According to Netcraft, Apache runs on about 49.05% of all servers attached to the Internet. That represents about 1,182,142 systems. It has replaced within only a few months the NCSA server which, until then was the unchallenged favorite. This is undoubtedly because Apache was derived from the NCSA server sources and that its configuration is compatible to that of NCSA/1.3. The Apache project was established to provide a forum for the development of a freely available HTTP server. The goal is to develop a secure, efficient, and easily extendable server, which also closely parallels the development of the HTTP protocol. Thus Apache became a replacement to NCSA/1.3. Besides better performance, the removal of known errors, and better conformance to HTTP standards (HTTP/1.1), Apache offers the following useful features, which are often missing in other servers: * password files, used to protect documents from unauthorized access, can be indexed in various ways. The search for an entry is as a result more efficient than in ordinary text files. * client-request errors can be responded to in a flexible manner. CGI scripts can be used to analyze the error and generate more informative replies to both the client and the administrator than the HTTP status codes offer. * there is no restriction on aliasing and redirection. The Alias and Redirect directives can be used in arbitrary number and depth. * Apache can choose the best representation of a resource based on the browser-supplied preferences for media type, languages, character set and encoding ("Content Negotiation"). * with Apache you can implement several virtual servers. Thus requests to different IP addresses (referring to the same computer) can be distinguished and, depending on the IP address, appropriately handled. Further advantages are the module concept and the well-documented API (Application Programmers Interface). Extensions are easily developed and new features are easily integrated into the server. For example, an implementation of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) from Netscape exists for Apache. This permits secure communication between server and client. Apache is installed in the following directories: /etc/httpd -> configuration files /usr/sbin/httpd -> server binary /var/log/httpd/ -> protocol files /var/run/httpd.pid -> server PID /usr/local/httpd -> server root /sbin/init.d/apache -> Start/Stop script |
| apel | A Portable Emacs Library |

| aps | This printer filter lets you print arbitrary files on your printer. The file type is recognized automatically. When needed ghostscript is run to print PostScript files on non-PostScript printers. In order to configure the filter, start YaST in your installed system. Choose "System administration" in the main menu, then "Integrate hardware into system", and finally "Configure printers". Fill out the mask, and YaST will configure apsfilter for you. The conventional SETUP of apsfilter is sure available as /var/lib/apsfilter/SETUP This revised script uses the program dialog to make the usage more easier for you. The documentation of this version of apsfilter revised by SuSE is placed in /usr/share/doc/packages/apsfilter/. |
| arc | ARC is a packer that was used on various operating systems. This package should allow you to unpack *.arc files under Linux. You shouldn't use it for packing Linux-Software. Use gzip instead. |

| asedit | A simple ASCII text editor for X11/Motif. Mouse support, dialog boxes, hypertext online help, undo/redo. The help box for the online help has a little bug: it is too small, you must enlarge the box with the mouse. |
| ash | NetBSD's ash (Almquist sh) for Linux is a small (62K - no job control) Bourne-compatible shell. Great for machines with low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash, tcsh, and zsh. Most shell scripts are run compatible to bash. Note that most scripts written for Linux use some bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup scripts are a notable exception, since ash is the shell used during installation. |
| at | With this program you can run jobs at a specified time. |
| aterm | aterm is a pseudo transparency terminal. It is recource friendly, has many features how fading (darkening/lightening of colors when aterm is loosing focus), tint color (pseudo transparency background color)... You can find some examples under /usr/share/doc/packages/aterm/README.SuSE |

| authldap | This is an authentication module for Apache that allows you to authenticate HTTP clients using user entries in an LDAP directory. The latest version and the change log is always available at http://www.rudedog.org/auth_ldap/ |
| autoconf | GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles. Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable packages, since the person building the package is allowed to specify various configuration options. You should install Autoconf if you are developing software and you'd like to use it to create shell scripts which will configure your source code packages. Note that the Autoconf package is not required for the end user who may be configuring software with an Autoconf-generated script; Autoconf is only required for the generation of the scripts, not their use. |
| autofs | autofs is a kernel-based automounter for Linux. It is still under development, although the features currently implemented seem to work well. There is not anywhere near enough documentation available yet; help in getting some written would be appreciated. This package replaces the amd package. |
| autolog | This programs automatically logs out "forgotten" logins. |
| automake | Automake is a tool for automatically generating "Makefile.in"s from files called "Makefile.am". "Makefile.am" is basically a series of "make" macro definitions (with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated "Makefile.in"s are compatible to the GNU Makefile standards. |

| baekmukt | Baekmuk Fonts (Korean fonts for X11, True Type version) |
| base | This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides remote tape drive control. Since there is a compatible `rmt' in the `dump' package we didn't put `rmt' into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features provided by tar you have to install the `dump' package as well. |
| bash | Bash is a sh-compatible command interpreter that executes commands read from standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is ultimately intended to be a conformant implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2). |
| bash1 | Since the new bash version 2.x is somewhat stricter in its syntax checking than version 1.x, we are keeping the older version as bash1 in the distribution. If you have scripts that don't satisfy the stricter rules of 2.x and you don't want to look for the errors, simply replace "/bin/sh" with "/bin/bash1" in the first line. The script will then be run by the old bash shell. |
| bb | BB is an high quality audio-visual demonstration for your text terminal. It is portable demo, so you can run it on plenty of operating systems and DOS. |
| bc | bc is an interpreter that supports numbers of arbitrary precision and the interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in the syntax to the C programming language. A standard math library is available through command line options. When used, the math library is read in before any other input files. bc then reads in all other files from the command line, evaluating their contents. Then, bc reads from standard input (usually the keyboard). The dc program is also included. Dc is a calculator which supports reverse-polish notation and allows unlimited precision arithmetic. Macros can also be defined. Normally, dc reads from standard in but can also read in files specified on the command line. A calculator with reverse-polish notation saves numbers to a stack. Arguments to mathematical operations (operands) are "pushed" onto the stack until the next operator is read in which "pops" its arguments off the stack and "pushes" its results back onto the stack. |

| buffer | Buffering stdin and stdout |
| bulkmail | This is a C program to do "bulk" mailing. For input, it takes a file of recipient addresses (one address per line) and a message (with headers already attached) to be sent to the recipients. It sorts the recipient list by reversed domain (so similar ones sort together), splits up the recipients into several groups containing no more than N domains each, creates an SMTP envelope for each group of recipients, and feeds that envelope to "/usr/lib/sendmail -bs". Splitting the envelopes up allows sendmail to perform delivery in parallel, so instead of having one large queue entry (for which sendmail might take awhile to get around to attempting delivery for some recipients), it has several smaller queue entries. Depending on your point-of-view, this can still be considered "cluttering up your mail queue", but it does seem to deliver messages more quickly to most recipients. The core of this program was extracted from a somewhat strange mailing list manager called na-net; it was designed to efficiently send out mail to 5000 people at a time. I have used this program to attempt delivery of a message to over 12000 recipients around the world, within a few hours. I'm currently using bulk_mailer as a back-end for several mailing lists of modest size. However, the program is not extensively tested, and may not work well in all environments. (In particular, if your system has per-user process quotas, or a small number of process table entries, you will want to modify this program to recover gracefully.) There's no warranty on this, but you're welcome to use it if you want. |
| busybox | BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip, tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or emdedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options then their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. |
| bwbasic | A Basic interpreter. |
| bwidget | Add useful and nice widgets in your interfaces with the BWidget Toolkit, a set of native Tk 8.x Widgets using Tcl8.x namespaces. The BWidgets have a professional look&feel as in other well known Toolkits (Tix or Incr Widget) but the concept is radically different because everything is native so no platform compilation, no compiled extension library are needed. The code is in Pure Tcl/Tk. |
| bzip | Bzip is a very powerful program for compressing files. |

| cpio | This is GNU cpio, a program to manage archives of files. This package also includes mt, a tape drive control program. Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. An archive is a file that contains other files plus information about them, such as their pathname, owner, timestamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides remote tape drive control. Since there is a compatible `rmt' in the `dump' package we didn't put `rmt' into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features provided by cpio you have to install the `dump' package as well. |

| ed | Standard old un*x line editor |
| eddi | X editor based on the TiX shell, with text highlighting and several other useful features. |
| edict | The EDICT file is the outcome of a voluntary project to produce a freely-available Japanese/English Dictionary in machine-readable form. This project has been under way since early 1991, beginning with the small original file included with the MOKE (Mark's Own Kanji Editor) Japanese word-processing package. It reached a size of nearly 103,000 entries when it was split into two files: EDICT containing the "normal" dictionary entries, and ENAMDICT containing names. Both files are used by a number of software packages and thousands of users world-wide. The EDICT file is now over 60,000 entries and the ENAMDICT file over 160,000. Meanwhile there are also some additional dictionary files for special purposes, for example COMPDIC for words from the computing and communication field. |

| expat | From the Website: Expat is an XML 1.0 parser written in C. It aims to be fully conforming. It is currently not a validating XML processor. The current production version of expat can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip. The directory xmltok contains a low-level library for tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in xmltok/xmltok.h. The directory xmlparse contains an XML parser library which is built on top of the xmltok library. The interface is documented in xmlparse/xmlparse.h. The directory sample contains a simple example program using this interface; sample/build.bat is a batch file to build the example using Visual C++. The directory xmlwf contains the xmlwf application, which uses the xmlparse library. The arguments to xmlwf are one or more files which are each to be checked for well-formedness. An option -d dir can be specified; for each well-formed input file the corresponding canonical XML will be written to dir/f, where f is the filename (without any path) of the input file. A -x option will cause references to external general entities to be processed. A -s option will make documents that are not standalone cause an error (a document is considered standalone if either it is intrinsically standalone because it has no external subset and no references to parameter entities in the internal subset or it is declared as standalone in the XML declaration). |

| fortune | Fortune displays a random text string from a set of files in a certain format. This occurs each time you start a login shell. To get this feature just uncomment the respective lines in the user's .profile. |
| fping | fping is a ping-like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. fping differs from ping in a way that you can specify any number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending pings to one target until it times out or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin fashion. In the default mode, if a target replies, it is noted and removed from the list of targets to check; if a target does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it is designated as unreachable. fping also supports sending a specified number of pings to a target, or looping indefinitely (as in ping ). Unlike ping, fping is meant to be used in scripts, so its output is designed to be easy to parse. |

| fwnn | FreeWnn is a Kana-Kanji translation system, originally developed by a joint project formed by Kyoto University, OMRON Corporation [formerly known as Tateishi Electronics Co.], and ASTEC Inc. Further developement and maintenance is now done by the "FreeWnn Project" (http://www.freewnn.org). The name "Wnn", is an acronym for the Japanese sentence "Watashino Namaeha Nakanodesu" (literally, it means "my name is Nakano."), is derived from a goal of the project: to develop a system powerful enough to translate a whole sentence like that at once. The source code has been written in C, and was distributed freely. Consequently, Wnn spread widely among workstation platforms, and became a de-facto standard as a Kana-Kanji translation system for UNIX operation systems. Wnn works in client-server manner. The server portion of Wnn, or jserver, is used as a Kana-Kanji translation engine for clients like "xwnmo" and "kinput2" (input systems for the X Window System), or for clients like "Egg", which is part of Mule (=Multi lingual Emacs) and XEmacs. This package contains only the Japanese server. |

| ge_auc | These macros make it easier for you to write TeX documents with GNU Emacs. Documentation is to be found under: /usr/share/doc/packages/auctex/ and in the dvi-files math-ref.dvi tex-ref.dvi (reference cards) and in info files auctex in emacs info-mode. AuC TeX is integrated in XEmacs 19.15 and higher, therefore you may not install this packages. Note that the binary formats of the byte-compiled lisp files of the both emacs editors are incompatible, therefore you can not use this package for XEmacs. |

| ge_info | This package contains all info files for GNU emacs. All these files can be read online with GNU emacs and describe emacs and some of its modes. |
| ge_lisp | Several lisp files not needed for running GNU emacs. Most of these files are pre byte compiled and therefore not necessary. |
| ge_site | This package contains extensions for GNU Emacs of the site-lisp path of emacs. It puts together the AUC-TeX package (ge_auc) and a system wide startup file (site-start.el) which uses a few lisp macro files combined by us. For copyright have a look on these files. Note, that GNU Emacs and XEmacs are incompatible. They use different binary code for compiled lisp files and they have different builtin lisp functions, not only names of such functions are different. Therfore you will find in /etc/skel/ an .emacs for your personal ~/.emacs which will switch between different init files. Fore GNU Emacs there is a /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs for a personal ~/.gnu-emacs and therefore your ~/.emacs or ~/.gnu-emacs files should be checked against the /etc/skel versions. You can always make your preferred ~/.gnu-emacs by copying the /etc/skel/.emacs and /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs file in your HOME directory and incorporating your extensions or changes. |

This is a partial list of Features implemented in Gnumeric, we need documentation for these: - Autofill Number autofill (computes delta, autofills from that) String autofill (daynames, months are built in). String+Number combo integer autofill Formula autofill. - Drag and drop selection. Select an area and use the border to drag the contents (shift/control/alt are modifiers to copy or move) - Selection - Multiple selection is supported, hold down control key to augment the existing selection (it might be discotinuous). - Walking selection Use return/tab and shift-return/shift-tab to capture information in a selection. - Fill quickly a region with the same text: just enter the text in a selection and press control-enter. - Number formatting - The formatting of numbers is very powerful, we do emulate the Excel number formatting specification. - Format rules: you can use rules to specify which format to use - Format colors: you can specify a color to format with in the format. - Column/Row resizing - Drag the column/row division to adjust the column and row dimenssions. - To make changes to various columns/rows simultaneously, select the columns and then change the dimension of one of them. - To edit the contents of a cell that already has a value, press F2 key. - When typing a formula, you can use the cursor keys to select a cell or a cell range in the expression. This will only work if a cell name is valid at the cursor point. To specify a cell range, just move to the start of the cell range and then hold down the shift key while making the size of the selection cursor bigger. - An expression is evaluated constantly on top of the current selection. There is a number of pre-defined auto-compute expressions, you can change this by right clicking on this expression (it is on the bottom right corner) - If you drag a selection with button 3 instead of button one there is no default action, rather, a menu pops up with a list of possible actions to perform. - Gnumeric distinguishes regular text from formulas by preceding formulas with an equal sign. So to enter an expression you have to enter for example: =1+2. - Control-Space selects a column - Control-A selects all - SHift-Space selects the row. - Selection-keys + control extend the selection to boundary of worksheet. - SHift-Backspace: Collapses selection to active cell. - Home: move to the beginning of the row. - Control-Home: move to the cell A1 |

As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search engines, ht://Dig can span several web servers at a site. The type of these different web servers doesn't matter as long as they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol. |

| hugs98 | Hugs is a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing cool Haskell programs. This release is largely conformant with Haskell 98, including monad and record syntax, newtypes, strictness annotations, and modules. In addition, it comes packaged with the libraries defined in the most recent version of the Haskell Library Report and with extension libraries which are compatible with GHC 3.0 and later. Hugs is best used as a Haskell program development system: it boasts extremely fast compilation, supports incremental compilation, and has the convenience of an interactive interpreter (within which one can move from module to module to test different portions of a program). However, being an interpreter, it does not nearly match the run-time performance of, for example, GHC or HBC. |

Additionally, JOE allows for shell-windows whereby the output of the executed commands are saved in a buffer, automatic filename completion (via TAB), help windows, undo-redo, search and replace using regular expressions. |
| john | "John the Ripper" detects weak passwords like first names, common expressions etc. on your system. |
| jpeg | Software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing "real-world" scenes (most of the time there are pictures that have been scanned-in with a scanner). Cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong suit. You should note that the output of JPEG is not necessarily the same as its input. If this is a factor for you, then don't use it. With typical real-world scenes, JPEG can achieve high compression rates, without noticeable differences. If you can accept pictures of lower quality, JPEG can achieve amazingly high compression rates. There are some library functions available for reading and writing JPEG files. The `cjpeg' and `djpeg' applications use the library to make conversions between JPEG and other popular graphics file formats possible. The library is meant to be used within other applications. Cjpeg compresses the input file, or standard input if no filename was given, and produces a JPEG/JFIF to standard output. Currently supported input file formats include: PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM (PBMPLUS Grayscale format), BMP, GIF, Targa and RLE (Utah Raster Toolkit Format). (RLE is only supported if the RLE library is available.) Djpeg decompresses a JPEG file in one of the above mentioned formats. |

| localezh | These are the locale definition files for Chinese zh_CN.GB2312, zh_CN.GBK, and zh_TW.Big5. They are experimental/alpha versions, like localeja and localeko, as glibc locales (2.1.2-9) don't currently include these EUC (or extended) encodings. However, this localezh package is essential for GB2312-1980 or GBK simplified Chinese support until glibc2 officially includes these locales. |
| logsurf | This program makes it possible to observe logfiles and to react on special events, that can be defined by regular expressions, with a defined action, e.g. to send a mail. |
| lprng | The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing the same interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation is completely new and provides support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a single queue; and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism. LPRng provides emulation packages for the SVR4 lp and lpstat programs, eliminating the need for another print spooler package. These emulation packages can be modified according to local requirements, in order to support vintage printing systems. Attention: Interoperability with older LPD implementations requires privileged access to ports. Therefore all affected client-programs ship with SUID root priviledges! |
| lprold | This is the Linux version of the BSD-compatible printer spooling system. The lpd binary included in this package expects to find TCP/IP running. |
| lsof | An open file may be a regular file, a directory, a block special file, a character special file, an executing text reference, a library, a stream or a network file (Internet socket, NFS file or UNIX domain soc |
