ircd21002: ircd - The Internet Relay Chat Program Server
ircd21002: ircd is the server (daemon) program for the Internet Relay
ircd21002: Chat Program. The ircd is a server in that its function
ircd21002: is to "serve" the client program irc(1) with messages and
ircd21002: commands. All commands and user messages are passed
ircd21002: directly to the ircd for processing and relaying to other
ircd21002: ircd sites. The irc(1) program depends upon there being
ircd21002: an ircd server running somewhere (either on your local
ircd21002: UNIX site or a remote ircd site) so that it will have
ircd21002: somewhere to connect to and thus allow the user to begin
ircd21002: talking to other users.

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.

emacspeak: emacspeak 6.0
emacspeak:
emacspeak: Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow
emacspeak: someone who cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system.
emacspeak: (Until now, the only option available to visually impaired
emacspeak: users has been to use a talking PC as a terminal.)
emacspeak: Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs. Once you start emacs
emacspeak: with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken feedback for
emacspeak: everything you do. Your mileage will vary depending on
emacspeak: how well you can use Emacs. There is nothing that you
emacspeak: cannot do inside Emacs :-). This package supports the
emacspeak: DECtalk Express and DECtalk MultiVoice speech
emacspeak: synthesizers. For other synthesizers, look for separate
emacspeak: driver packages.
emacspeak-dt: emacspeak-dt 0.15
emacspeak-dt:
emacspeak-dt: Emacspeak by T. V. Raman enables blind users to use
emacspeak-dt: emacs with a DECtalk speech synthesizer. With this
emacspeak-dt: driver, it can also be used with the DoubleTalk LT
emacspeak-dt: synthesizer.
