Extra Slackware packages / user contributed package directory
_____________________________________________________________
These are some extra packages that might be handy. Use 'pkgtool' to install or
remove these from your system. These can also be installed with 'installpkg'.
Anyone who wants to contribute a package to this directory should send me mail
at: volkerdi@ftp.cdrom.com. The package must install cleanly, and must include a
description to be added to this index (in which you can feel free to give
yourself some credit). As of version 2.0.0, Slackware contains an easy to use
package creation tool called 'makepkg' that can be used to make the package.
I don't offer any support for these packages. :^)
Some of these long package names may cause unsightly wrap-around in the color
pkgtool's package removal menu, but it should still work ok.

Also see all the .txt and README files in this directory for more information
on these packages.
a.out-compilers/ This directory contains GNU C/C++/Objective-C for the now
obsolete Linux a.out binary format, as well as a set of tools
for creating a.out shared libraries.
emacspeak: Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow someone who
cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system. (Until now, the only
option available to visually impaired users has been to use a
talking PC as a terminal.) Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs.
Once you start emacs with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken feedback
for everything you do. Your mileage will vary depending on how well
you can use Emacs. There is nothing that you cannot do inside
Emacs :-). This package supports the DECtalk Express and DECtalk
MultiVoice speech synthesizers. For other synthesizers, look for
separate driver packages.
emacspeak-dt: Emacspeak by T. V. Raman enables blind users to use emacs with a
DECtalk speech synthesizer. With this driver, it can also be used
with the DoubleTalk LT synthesizer.
aps-4.91.tgz: Andreas Klemm's Apsfilter is a lineprinter input filter for Unix
Systems with Berkeley-like printing system (configuration using
/etc/printcap). Main features are AUTOMATIC FILE TYPE RECOGNITION
for the filetypes: * ASCII * DATA * POSTSCRIPT * DVI *
f2c: A Fortran-77 to C translator, complete with an "f77" script to
hide the translation details from the user.
auis63L4-*.tgz: Packages from the Andrew User Interface System, put together
for Linux by Terry Gliedt.
xgrabsc.tgz: A screen grabber for X.
nvi.tgz: Version 1.79 of nex/nvi, a freely redistributable replacement for the
Berkeley ex and vi text editors.
noweb.tgz: A literate-programming tool like FunnelWEB or nuweb, only simpler.
smail/: Smail 3.2. Smail is a mail-handling system. Some find it easier to
maintain and configure than BSD sendmail, especially for use with UUCP.
pdksh.tgz: A Korn shell look-alike, version 5.2.3.
slirp-1.0c.tar.gz: Source for a program to emulate SLIP/CSLIP from a Unix(R)
shell account on the Internet.
