Information for Canna-lib-3.6pl4: Description: Library part of Canna Japanese input method. Homepage: http://canna.sourceforge.jp/ Information for R-1.6.2: Description: R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true computer language which contains a number of control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. On platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C code can be linked and called at run time. R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical. Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question.

Amanda, The Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver Copyright (c) 1991-1998 University of Maryland at College Park All Rights Reserved. See the files COPYRIGHT, COPYRIGHT-REGEX and COPYRIGHT-APACHE for distribution conditions and official warranty disclaimer. PLEASE NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE ``AS-IS''. UMD is making this work available so that other people can use it. This software is in production use at our home site - the UMCP Department of Computer Science - but we make no warranties that it will work for you. Amanda development is unfunded - the development team maintains the code in their spare time. As a result, there is no support available other than users helping each other on the Amanda mailing lists. See below for information on the mailing lists. WHAT IS AMANDA? --------------- This is a release of Amanda, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver. Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many computers on a network to a single large-capacity tape drive. Here are some features of Amanda: * written in C, freely distributable. * built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, GNU Tar and others. * will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to tape. For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours. * does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape. * supports tape changers via a generic interface. Easily customizable to any type of tape carousel, robot, or stacker that can be controlled via the unix command line. * supports Kerberos 4 security, including encrypted dumps. The Kerberos support is available as a separate add-on package, see the file KERBEROS.HOW-TO-GET on the ftp site, and the file docs/KERBEROS in this package, for more details. * for a restore, tells you what tapes you need, and finds the proper backup image on the tape for you. * recovers gracefully from errors, including down or hung machines. * reports results, including all errors in detail, in email. * will dynamically adjust backup schedule to keep within constraints: no more juggling by hand when adding disks and computers to network. * includes a pre-run checker program, that conducts sanity checks on both the tape server host and all the client hosts (in parallel), and will send an e-mail report of any problems that could cause the backups to fail. * can compress dumps before sending or after sending over the net, with either compress or gzip. * can optionally synchronize with external backups, for those large timesharing computers where you want to do full dumps when the system is down in single-user mode (since BSD dump is not reliable on active filesystems): Amanda will still do your daily dumps. * lots of other options; Amanda is very configurable. WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR AMANDA? -------------------------------------------- Amanda requires a host that is mostly idle during the time backups are done, with a large capacity tape drive (e.g. an EXABYTE, DAT or DLT tape). This becomes the "tape server host". All the computers you are going to dump are the "backup client hosts". The server host can also be a client host. Amanda works best with one or more large "holding disk" partitions on the server host available to it for buffering dumps before writing to tape. The holding disk allows Amanda to run backups in parallel to the disk, only writing them to tape when the backup is finished. Note that the holding disk is not required: without it Amanda will run backups sequentially to the tape drive. Running it this way kills the great performance, but still allows you to take advantage of Amanda's other features. As a rule of thumb, for best performance the holding disk should be larger than the dump output from your largest disk partitions. For example, if you are backing up some full gigabyte disks that compress down to 500 MB, then you'll want 500 MB on your holding disk. On the other hand, if those gigabyte drives are partitioned into 500 MB filesystems, they'll probably compress down to 250 MB and you'll only need that much on your holding disk. Amanda will perform better with larger holding disks. Actually, Amanda will still work if you have full dumps that are larger than the holding disk: Amanda will send those dumps directly to tape one at a time. If you have many such dumps you will be limited by the dump speed of those machines. Amanda does not yet support single backup images larger than a tape. WHAT SYSTEMS DOES AMANDA RUN ON? -------------------------------- Amanda should run on any modern Unix system that supports dump or GNU tar, has sockets and inetd, and either system V shared memory, or BSD mmap implemented. In particular, Amanda 2.4.0 has been compiled, and the client side tested on the following systems: AIX 3.2 and 4.1 BSDI BSD/OS 2.1 and 3.1 DEC OSF/1 3.2 and 4.0 FreeBSD 2.2.5 IRIX 5.2 and 6.3 Linux/GNU on x86, alpha and sparc NetBSD 1.0 Nextstep 3 (*) SunOS 4.1.x (x >= 1) and 5.[56] Ultrix 4.2 HP-UX 9.x and 10.x (x >= 01) The Amanda 2.4.0 server side is known to run on all of the other machines except on those marked with an asterisk. If you know of any system that is not listed here on which amanda builds successfully, either client&server or client-only, please report to amanda-hackers@amanda.org. WHERE DO I GET AMANDA? ---------------------- There are several versions of Amanda. The latest version at the time of this writing is available at: ftp://ftp.amanda.org/pub/amanda HOW DO I GET AMANDA UP AND RUNNING? ----------------------------------- Read the file docs/INSTALL. There are a variety of steps, from compiling Amanda to installing it on the tape server host and the client machines. docs/INSTALL contains general installation instructions. docs/SYSTEM.NOTES contains system-specific information. docs/FAQ contains answers to frequently asked questions. docs/KERBEROS explains installation under Kerberos 4. docs/TAPE.CHANGERS explains how to customize the changer interface. docs/WHATS.NEW details new features.

It allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a .PNG file. This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .PNG is one of the formats accepted for inline images by most browsers. gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, you are looking in the wrong place. If you are not a programmer, you are looking in the wrong place. gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation. It is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics package, but incorporates most of the commonly requested features for an 8-bit 2D package.

Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html Information for hugs98-200112nb1: Description: The Nottingham and Yale Haskell interpreter and programming environment. Nottingham and Yale are pleased to announce a new release of Hugs, a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing cool Haskell programs. Sources and binaries are freely available by anonymous FTP and on the World-Wide Web. This release is largely conformant with Haskell 1.4, 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. 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.

IJG is not affiliated with the official ISO JPEG standards committee. Homepage: http://www.ijg.org/ Information for lame-3.93.1nb1: Description: Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally stood for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder. LAME started life as a GPL'd patch against the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May 2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now LAME is the source code for a fully GPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and quality to rival all commercial competitors. LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to use the open source model to improve the psycho acoustics, noise shaping and speed of MP3. Another goal of the LAME project is to use these improvements for the basis of a patent free audio compression codec for the GNU project. Homepage: http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/ Information for lapack-20010201nb2: Description: LAPACK is a highly portable Fortran 77 library which provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems. The associated matrix factorizations (LU, Cholesky, QR, SVD, Schur, generalized Schur) are also provided, as are related computations such as reordering of the Schur factorizations and estimating condition numbers. Dense and banded matrices are handled, but not general sparse matrices. In all areas, similar functionality is provided for real and complex matrices, in both single and double precision. Homepage: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/index.html Information for libctl-2.2nb3: Description: Scientific software for performing large computations is typically managed using textual control files that specify the parameters of the computation. Historically, these control files have typically consisted of long, inflexible collections of numbers whose meaning and format is hard-coded into the program. With libctl, we make it easy for programmers to support a greatly superior control file structure, and with less effort than was required for traditional input formats. All of these goals are achieved by libctl with the help of Guile, the GNU scripting and extensibility language. Guile does all of the hard work for us, and allows us to embed a complete interpreter in a program with minimal effort. Despite its power, libctl is designed to be easy to use. A basic user only sees a convenient file format with a programming language to back it up if her needs become more complex. For the programmer, all headaches associated with reading input files are lifted--once an abstract specification is supplied, all interaction with the user is handled automatically. Homepage: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/libctl/ Information for libiconv-1.8nb1: Description: Libiconv is a character set conversion library that provides an iconv() implementation for use on systems which don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode. It provides support for many encodings and can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode conversion. It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name. libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character encodings, but that support lacks from your system. Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ Information for libltdl-1.5.10: Description: This is GNU Libtool, a generic library support script.

The package solves linear systems whose matrices are general, banded, symmetric indefinite, symmetric positive definite, triangular, and tridiagonal square. In addition, the package computes the QR and singular value decompositions of rectangular matrices and applies them to least-squares problems. LINPACK uses column-oriented algorithms to increase efficiency by preserving locality of reference. LINPACK was designed for supercomputers in use in the 1970s and early 1980s. LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK which has been designed to run efficiently on shared-memory, vector supercomputers. Information for llcbench: Description: Homepage: http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projects/llcbench/ Information for lynx-2.8.4.1.4: Description: lynx is a program which allows a user to access World-Wide Web servers and other information servers. It uses only ascii representation so that it can be used from ascii-terminals and dialin-lines. Homepage: http://lynx.browser.org/ Information for m4-1.4nb1: Description: GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them. GNU `m4' was originally written by Rene Seindal, with subsequent changes by Franc,ois Pinard and other volunteers on the Internet. All names and email addresses can be found in the file `THANKS' from the GNU `m4' distribution. This is release 1.4. It is now to be considered stable, future releases are only meant to fix bugs, increase speed, or improve documentation. However... An experimental feature, which would improve `m4' usefulness, allows for changing the syntax for what is a "word" in `m4'. You should use: ./configure --enable-changeword if you want this feature compiled in. The current implementation slows down `m4' considerably and is hardly acceptable. So, it might go away, do not count on it yet. Information for mbmon-203: Description: Text-based program for monitoring motherboard environmental information. Information for minpack-20001130: Description: Minpack includes software for solving nonlinear equations and nonlinear least squares problems.

Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html Information for png-1.2.7: Description: Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way to reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG file format in application programs. Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced users may want to modify it more. The library was coded for both users. All attempts were made to make it as complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand. Currently, this library only supports C. Support for other languages is being considered. Homepage: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/ Information for pspp-0.3.0nb1: Description: PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It interprets commands in the SPSS language and produces tabular output in ASCII, HTML, or PostScript format. In previous releases, PSPP was known as Fiasco. A main goal of the PSPP project is compatibility with the SPSS language. PSPP also aims to be written better than the program it replaces. Right now this includes: * High-quality output formatting: - Presentation-quality tables on devices that can handle it, such as laser printers and raster displays. This is currently implemented through a PostScript driver and a simple HTML tables driver. - Other devices, such as terminals and dot-matrix printers, are supported through an ASCII driver. IBM PC box-drawing characters can also be used. Bold and italics are supported if the underlying device supports them. - Output can be directed to multiple devices at once and retain the unique output properties of each device. - All this can be done on any operating system that PSPP supports. Though the latest versions of what PSPP replaces support similar functionality, they do so only under non-free Microsoft operating systems. * Portability: PSPP is easy to port. It should be simple to port it to any operating system having an ANSI C compiler.

Homepage: http://www.tcltk.com/ Information for ttcp-1.12nb1: Description: Ttcp (test TCP) times the transmission and reception of data between two systems using the UDP or TCP protocols. It differs from common ``blast'' tests, which tend to measure the remote inetd as much as the network performance, and which usually do not allow measurements at the remote end of a UDP transmission. Homepage: http://www.ccci.com/tools/ttcp/ Information for unzip-5.52nb1: Description: Unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive, commonly found on MS-DOS systems. The default behavior (with no options) is to extract into the current directory (and subdirectories below it) all files from the specified ZIP archive. Unzip is compatible with archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP, but in many cases the program options or default behaviors differ. Zipinfo lists technical information about files in a ZIP archive, most commonly found on MS-DOS systems. Such information includes file access permissions, encryption status, type of compression, version and operating system or file system of compressing program, and the like. Funzip acts as a filter; that is, it assumes that a ZIP archive is being piped into standard input, and it extracts the first member from the archive to stdout. If there is an argument, then the input comes from the specified file instead of from stdin. Unzipsfx is a modified version of unzip designed to be prepended to existing ZIP archives in order to form self-extracting archives. Instead of taking its first non-flag argument to be the zipfile(s) to be extracted, unzipsfx seeks itself under the name by which it was invoked and tests or extracts the contents of the appended archive.

Many new features have been added: multi level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, on-line help, filename completion, block operations, etc. See doc/vi_diff.txt. If you are building the package from source you may want to enable some features such as a perl or python interpreter which are not enabled by default. This version does not contain a gui. If you want one, look at vim-xaw or vim-gtk. Homepage: http://www.vim.org/ Information for vim-share-6.3.064: Description: Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi. Many new features have been added: multi level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, on-line help, filename completion, block operations, etc. This package is only a shared data-package for the `actual' vim packages. You also have to install one of vim, vim-xaw, or vim-gtk to get a working editor.

It is intended for use by buildlink code to cleanly separate out the true X11 code files from any installed X11 package code files. The X11 hierarchies supported are: XFree86-3.3.x XFree86-4.0.x XFree86-4.1.x XFree86-4.2.x XFree86-4.3.x Homepage: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/Packages.txt Information for xemacs-nox11-21.4.17: Description: XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor. Users new to XEmacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features. XEmacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp. XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser. XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say it looks nicer than GNU Emacs.
