Basic package for the GNU Emacs editor. Requires emacs-x11 or
emacs-nox.

These macros make it easier for you to write TeX documents with GNU
Emacs. Documentation can be found under:

/usr/share/doc/packages/emacs-auctex/

and in the dvi files math-ref.dvi and tex-ref.dvi (reference cards) and
in the info file auctex in emacs info-mode.

AuC TeX is integrated in XEmacs 19.15 and higher, so these packages may
not be installed concurrently. Note that the binary formats of the
byte-compiled lisp files of the two emacs editors are incompatible, so
you cannot use this package for XEmacs.

Enscript converts ASCII files to PostScript and writes the generated
output to a file or sends it directly to the printer.

The Enscript configuration file is in /etc/enscript.cfg.

Warning: enscript is not able to convert complex unicode (UTF-8) text
to PostScript. Only language text which can be converted from UTF-8 to
latin encodings are supported with the help of a wrapper script. ~ ~

With the file command, you can obtain information on the file type of a
specified file. File type recognition is controlled by the file
/etc/magic, which contains the classification criteria. This command is
used by apsfilter to permit automatic printing of different file types.

Ghostview offers an X11 GUI for viewing PostScript files. This is an
X11 interface to ghostscript.

GNUplot is a command line driven interactive function plotting utility.
GNUplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and
printers (including many color devices and pseudodevices like LaTeX)
and can easily be extended to include new devices.

GV offers you an X Window System GUI for viewing PostScript files. This
is an X Window System interface to ghostscript.

This package contains the CGI script 'info2html' that creates HTML pages
from info documents on demand, to be sent over the HTTP protocol.

Follow references to nodes in info documents to view the corresponding info
files in HTML.

Insserv enables an installed system init script (boot script) by
reading the comment header of the script and calculating the
dependencies between all scripts.

This package contains the READMEs for international fonts from the
following packages:

ifntarab: Arab fonts for X11

ifntasia: Asian fonts for X11

ifntchia: Chinese fonts for X11

ifntchib: Big Chinese fonts for X11

ifntethi: Ethiopic fonts for X11

ifnteuro: European fonts for X11

ifntjapa: Japanese fonts for X11

ifntjapb: Big Japanese fonts for X11

ifntphon: IPA fonts for X11

intlfonts-ttf: TrueType fonts

intlfonts-bdf: Bitmap fonts useful for printing exotic languages from
Emacs

Ispell is a fast, screen-oriented spell checker that shows you your
errors in the context of the original file and suggests possible
corrections when it can figure them out. Compared to UNIX spell, it is
faster and much easier to use. Ispell can also handle languages other
than English. Ispell has a long history and many people have
contributed to the current version--some of the major contributors
include R. E. Gorin, Pace Willisson, Walt Buehring, and Geoff Kuenning.

You can find a short description in the directory
/usr/share/doc/packages/ispell/.

The original Korn Shell. The ksh is an sh-compatible command
interpreter that executes commands read from standard input or from a
file.

The readline library is used by the Bourne Again Shell (bash, the
standard command interpreter) for easy editing of command lines. This
includes history and search functionality.

Libzio provides a wrapper function for reading or writing gzip or bzip2
files with FILE streams.

Lifelines is terminal-based program that allows the tracking of
genealogical information. The lifelines reports are the power of the

Nail is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1. It is
intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command with
additional support for MIME messages, POP3, and SMTP. In recent system
environments, nail is Unicode/UTF-8 capable. Further, it contains some
minor enhancements like the ability to set a "From:" address.

The man system in SUSE Linux (package man) does not need a whatis
database. Nevertheless some manual browsers, such as tkman, still need
this database. For this reason, we included this package.

A program for displaying man pages on the screen or sending them to a
printer (using groff).

Metamail is required for reading multimedia mail messages (such as
those using the Andrew toolkit) with elm.

The mingetty program is a lightweight, minimalistic getty program for
use on virtual consoles only. Mingetty is not suitable for serial lines
(you should use the mgetty program for this purpose).

A very powerful mail user agent. It supports (among other nice things)
highlighting, threading, and PGP. It takes some time to get used to,
however.

As soon as a text application needs to directly control its output to
the screen (if it wants to place the cursor at location (x,y) then
write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the forms libraries are
included in this package. These new libraries support color, special
characters, and panels.

A nice program that changes your cursor into a cat playing with your
mouse cursor. The manual page shows more possibilities to change your
cursor.

A driver for Lexmark printers 7000, 7200, and 5700. This driver
translates PBM (Portable Bitmap) into the printer protocol for the
Lexmark printers 7000, 7200, and 5700.

A public domain Korn Shell clone.
