D-BUS notification daemon.

notify-sharp is a C# client implementation for Desktop Notifications,
i.e. notification-daemon. It is inspired by the libnotify API.

Desktop Notifications provide a standard way of doing passive pop-up
notifications on the Linux desktop. These are designed to notify the
user of something without interrupting their work with a dialog box
that they must close. Passive popups can automatically disappear after
a short period of time.

nss-mdns is a plug-in for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing a hostname
resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka
Apple Bonjour), and effectively allowing name resolution by common
Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.

nss-mdns provides only client functionality, which means that you have
to run a mDNS responder daemon separately from nss-mdns if you want to
register the local hostname via mDNS. I recommend Avahi.

By default, nss-mdns tries to contact a running avahi-daemon to resolve
hostnames and addresses and makes use of its superior record cacheing.

This package provides as much compatibility as possible for packages
installed into the old /opt/gnome prefix. The package installs the

components to support this prefix.

This package deletes itself, if it does not find any useful files in
/opt/gnome. If you want to install this package, you need to have at
least one useful file in /opt/gnome or create it just now.

read and write Psion 5 files

* An example command line program that reads Psion files and writes
more commonly used formats
