Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which is used by the
InstallShield installer software. The unshield program simply unpacks
such files. This is the binary executable.

See http://synce.sourceforge.net/ for more information.

UnZip is an extraction utility for archives compressed in .zip format
(known as "zip files"). Although highly compatible both with PKWARE's
PKZIP(tm) and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and with Info-ZIP's own Zip
program, our primary objectives have been portability and non-MS-DOS
functionality. This version can also extract encrypted archives.

USB_ModeSwitch is a mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop"
(multiple device) USB gear. It allows so-called "Zero-CD" devices that
show up as USB storage initially to be switched into their more useful
"application mode". This is most common for UMTS/3G wireless WAN
devices.

A cgi-bin program that produces clickable graphs in web pages when
provided with an href to a .dot file. Uses Tcldot from the graphviz
rpm. By default, only requests from localhost are served.

YASM is a complete rewrite of the NASM assembler. It is designed from
the ground up to allow for multiple syntaxes to be supported (e.g.,
NASM, TASM, GAS, etc.) in addition to multiple output object formats.
Another primary module of the overall design is an optimizer module.
Actually it supports ix86 and AMD64, next will be PowerPC

Zip is a compression and file packaging utility. It is compatible with
PKZIP(tm) 2.04g (Phil Katz ZIP) for MS-DOS systems.

In this game, race against other players on a permanently moving
lightcycle (virtual motorbike), which leaves a wall as a trace. The
lightcycles can make 90 degree turns and accelerate when driven close
to walls. The game is over if you hit a wall. The goal of the game is
to try to make your enemies hit the walls, while you avoid doing the
same. Unlike glTron, this program does not require 3D hardware support.

GNU Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and makefiles. Using
autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable packages,
because the person building the package is allowed to specify various
configuration options.

You should install autoconf if you are developing software and would
like to create shell scripts to configure your source code packages.

Note that the autoconf package is not required for the end user who may
be configuring software with an autoconf-generated script; autoconf is
only required for the generation of the scripts, not their use.

The GNU Autoconf Archive is a collection of more than 450 macros for `GNU
Autoconf `_ that have been contributed as
free software by friendly supporters of the cause from all over the Internet.
Every single one of those macros can be re-used without imposing any
restrictions whatsoever on the licensing of the generated `configure` script. In
particular, it is possible to use all those macros in `configure` scripts that
are meant for non-free software. This policy is unusual for a Free Software
Foundation project. The FSF firmly believes that software ought to be free, and
software licenses like the GPL are specifically designed to ensure that
derivative work based on free software must be free as well. In case of
Autoconf, however, an exception has been made, because Autoconf is at such a
pivotal position in the software development tool chain that the benefits from
having this tool available as widely as possible outweigh the disadvantage that
some authors may choose to use it, too, for proprietary software.

AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain
repetitive text with varied substitutions. Its goal is to simplify the
maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.
This is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text
that must be kept synchronized in parallel tables.

Automake is a tool for automatically generating "Makefile.in" files
from "Makefile.am" files. "Makefile.am" is a series of "make" macro
definitions (with rules occasionally thrown in). The generated
"Makefile.in" files are compatible with the GNU Makefile standards.

BB is a high quality audio-visual demonstration for your text terminal.
It is a portable demo, so you can run it on plenty of operating
systems and DOS.

Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The
emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Some of the libraries have already been proposed for
inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard
Library Technical Report.

Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee
Library Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two
thousand members of the C++ community at large.

This package is mainly needed for updating from a prior version, the
dynamic libraries are found in their respective package. For development
using Boost, you also need the boost-devel package. For documentation,
see the boost-doc package.

Boost Jam is a build tool based on FTJam, which in turn is based on
Perforce Jam. It contains significant improvements made to facilitate
its use in the Boost Build System, but should be backward compatible
with Perforce Jam.

Botan is a C++ library that provides support for many common
cryptographic operations, including encryption, authentication, and
X.509v3 certificates and CRLs. A wide variety of algorithms is
supported, including RSA, DSA, DES, AES, MD5, and SHA-1.

Uses installwatch to keep track of all files created or modified during
the run of an installation script like "make install". The information
is used to create a rpm package that holds all files installed by the
tracked installation. This makes it possible, for example, to remove
all files later with rpm -e package or to install the package on
another system.

Basic file, shell, and text manipulation utilities. The package

CVS is a front-end to the rcs (Revision Control System) included in the
standard Linux distributions. PCL-CVS, an emacs (Emacs) front-end for
CVS, is also included.

Delta assists you in minimizing "interesting" files subject to a test
of their interestingness. A common such situation is when attempting to
isolate a small failure-inducing substring of a large input that causes
your program to exhibit a bug. Please see
/usr/share/doc/packages/delta/www/using_delta.html for documentation.

The GNU diff utilities find differences between files. diff is used to
make source code patches, for instance.

Dos2unix is used to convert plain text from DOS (CR/LF) format. Mac2unix
converts plain text from MAC (CR) format to UNIX format (LF).

Unix2dos converts plain text files from UNIX
format to DOS format and unix2dos converts from UNIX to MAC format.
