This package contains the libpgtcl client library as a loadable Tcl
package. It is needed to access PostgreSQL databases from Tcl scripts.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, and user-defined
types and functions.

This package contains the basic utility and client programs necessary
to maintain and work with local or remote PostgreSQL databases as well
as manual pages for the SQL commands that PostgreSQL supports. Full
HTML documentation for PostgreSQL can be found in the postgresql-docs
package.

PL/R is a loadable procedural language that enables you to write PostgreSQL
functions and triggers in the R programming language. PL/R offers most (if
not all) of the capabilities a function writer has in the R language.

Commands are available to access the database via the PostgreSQL Server
Programming Interface (SPI) and to raise messages via elog() . There is no
way to access internals of the database backend. However the user is able
to gain OS-level access under the permissions of the PostgreSQL user ID,
as with a C function. Thus, any unprivileged database user should not be
permitted to use this language. It must be installed as an untrusted
procedural language so that only database superusers can create functions
in it. The writer of a PL/R function must take care that the function cannot
be used to do anything unwanted, since it will be able to do anything that
could be done by a user logged in as the database administrator.

An implementation restriction is that PL/R procedures cannot be used to
create input/output functions for new data types.

The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon,
pppd, additional PPP utilities, documentation, and sample files. PPP
provides a method for transmitting IP and IPX datagrams over serial
point-to-point links, for example over a modem. The PPP daemon handles
the details of setting up a PPP link including configuring the network
interface and performing the PPP negotiations.

A client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol, PPTP. It allows connections to a PPTP based VPN as used by
employers and some cable and ADSL service providers. It requires MPPE
support in the kernel. Use the ppp-mppe package.

PoPToP is a PPTP(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) server solution for
Linux, it allows Linux servers to function seamlessly in the PPTP VPN
environment. This release supports Windows 95/98/NT/2000 PPTP clients
and PPTP Linux clients.

This package contains the ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) driver and
sample configuration files needed for applications to access a
PostgreSQL database using ODBC.

PyGreSQL is a Python module that interfaces to a PostgreSQL database.
It embeds the PostgreSQL query library to allow easy use of PostgreSQL
features from a Python script.

rinetd redirects TCP connections from one IP address and port to
another address and port. rinetd is a single-process server which
handles any number of connections to the address or port pairs
specified in the file /etc/rinetd.conf. Because rinetd runs as a single
process using nonblocking I/O, it is able to redirect a large number of
connections without a severe impact on the machine. This makes it
practical to run TCP services on machines inside an IP masquerading
firewall.

Note: rinetd can not redirect FTP because FTP requires more than one
socket.

RosettaMan is a filter for UNIX manual pages needed by TkMan. It takes,
as input, man pages formatted for a variety of UNIX flavors (not
[tn]roff source) and produces, as output, a variety of file formats.
Http-rman is also included. It provides access to the man pages via a
normal web browser.

Scotty is a software package which allows implementation of
site-specific network management software using high-level,
string-based APIs. The software is based on the Tool Command Language
which simplifies the development of portable network management
scripts. The scotty source distribution includes two major components.
The first one is the Tnm Tcl Extension which provides access to network
management information sources. The second component is the Tkined
network editor which provides a framework for an extensible network
management system.

Snack provides commands to play, record, process, and visualize sound.
It supports various file formats such as WAV, AU, AIFF, and MP3.

With Snack, you can easily create sound applications with Tcl/Tk or
Python or extend existing programs with sound capabilities.

The documentation is located under /usr/share/doc/packages/snack There
is also a 'demos' subdirectory which contains examples for Tcl/Tk and
Python.

SpanDSP is a library of DSP functions for telephony, in the 8000 sample
per second world of E1s, T1s, and higher order PCM channels. It
contains low level functions, such as basic filters. It also contains
higher level functions, such as cadenced supervisory tone detection,
and a complete software FAX machine.

SQLite is a C library that implements an embeddable SQL database
engine. Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL
database access without running a separate RDBMS process.

SQLite is not a client library used to connect to a big database
server. SQLite is the server and the SQLite library reads and writes
directly to and from the database files on disk.

SQLite can be used via the sqlite command line tool or via any
application that supports the Qt database plug-ins.

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a very powerful but easy to learn
dynamic programming language, suitable for a very wide range of uses,
including web and desktop applications, networking, administration,
testing and many more. Open source and business-friendly, Tcl is a
mature yet evolving language that is truly cross platform, easily
deployed and highly extensible.

For more information on Tcl see http://www.tcl.tk and
http://wiki.tcl.tk .

This package is intended to be a collection of Tcl packages that
provide utility functions useful to a large collection of Tcl
programmers.

With this plug-in, download special Tcl/Tk scripts (also known as
tclets) from the Internet and execute them inside your browser like
Java applets.

Find the documentation in /opt/netscape/tclplug/2.0/doc.

This package makes the UDP protocol available for Tcl interpreters. It
allows access to message-oriented UDP through stream-oriented Tcl
channels.

Extended Tcl is a superset of standard Tcl. Extended Tcl has three
basic functional areas: A set of new commands, a Tcl shell (a Unix
shell-style command line and interactive environment), and a
user-extensible library of useful Tcl procedures, any of which can be
automatically loaded on the first attempt to execute it.

In addition, a detailed help system is available for Tcl/Tk: tclhelp.

tDOM combines high performance XML data processing with easy and
powerful Tcl scripting functionality. tDOM should be one of the fastest
ways to manipulate XML with a scripting language and uses very few
memory: for example, the DOM tree of the XML recommendation in XML
(160K) needs only about 450K of memory.
