Extra Slackware packages / user contributed package directory
_____________________________________________________________

These are some extra packages that might be handy. Use 'pkgtool' to install or
remove these from your system. These can also be installed with 'installpkg'.

Anyone who wants to contribute a package to this directory should send me mail
at: [email protected]. The package must install cleanly, and must include a
description to be added to this index (in which you can feel free to give
yourself some credit). As of version 2.0.0, Slackware contains an easy to use
package creation tool called 'makepkg' that can be used to make the package.

I don't offer any support for these packages. :^)

Some of these long package names may cause unsightly wrap-around in the color
pkgtool's package removal menu, but it should still work ok.

rescue.gz:  This is a bootable rootdisk based on the 1.1.21 Linux kernel
           with all the standard drivers, and all the Linux filesystems
           including umsdos. It's got all the debugging and repair utilities
           for these filesystems, vim, and man pages for many of the included
           utilities. This is a compressed 1.44 MB disk image -- uncompress
           it and write it to a floppy. You'll need 8 MB minimum to use this;
           the disk self boots and then uncompresses a 2560K ext2 root
           filesystem into a ramdisk. It boots/loads much faster than the
           bootdisks that use LILO, too. :^)

seejpeg v1.4.3: seejpeg is Evan Harris's JPEG viewer which utilizes svgalib and
           contains limited GIF, PPM and TARGA viewing support.  The most
           useful feature of seejpeg is that it automatically decides on the
           "best" video mode to use based on the image being displayed and the
           video card being used.  To aid it, various hints may be given as
           program options.  In the worst case, it may be overridden.

sample_users.tgz: If you install this package, 3 sample users will be created
           (gonzo, snake, satan). This package was once part of the AP disk
           series, but too many people installed it without noticing, and it
           was becoming the best known backdoor into Linux boxes all over the
           Internet (!). This package stems from a time before the "adduser"
           utility was put in Slackware, so it really isn't all that helpful
           anymore. You could use "adduser" to create some sample accounts
           nearly as easily.

aps-23.tgz: Andreas Klemm's Apsfilter-2.3. aps-2 is an lineprinter input filter
           for Unix Systems with Berkeley alike printing system (configuration
           using /etc/printcap).  Main features are AUTOMATIC FILE TYPE
           RECOGNITION for the filetypes: * ASCII * DATA * POSTSCRIPT * DVI *

samba-1.9.13.tgz: Samba is a Unix based SMB file server. This allows a Unix host
           to act as a file and print server for SMB clients. This includes
           Lan-Manager compatible clients such as LanManager for DOS, Windows
           for Workgroups, Windows NT, OS/2, Pathworks and many more. If you
           have any PCs running SMB clients, such as a PC running Windows for
           Workgroups, then you can mount file space or printers from a Linux
           host, so that directories, files and printers on the Linux host
           are available on the PC.

dosemu-0.60.1.tgz: An MS-DOS emulator (actually a virtual 80x86 machine for
           Linux that can run MS-DOS 3.3-6.2, DR-DOS 6.0, or possibly other
           versions of DOS).

gcl-2.0.tgz: GNU Common Lisp 2.0.  Now includes an interface to Tcl/Tk!

auis63L4-*.tgz: Packages from the Andrew User Interface System, put together
               for Linux by Terry Gliedt.

lemacs.tgz: This is Lucid Emacs version 19.10 (also known as xemacs)

xgrabsc.tgz: A screen grabber for X.

nvi.tgz: Version 1.34 of nex/nvi, a freely redistributable replacement for the
        Berkeley ex and vi text editors.

noweb.tgz: A literate-programming tool like FunnelWEB or nuweb, only simpler.

manpagesrc.tgz: This is groff source for all of the manpages in Slackware.

smail/: Smail 3.1.29. Smail is a mail-handling system. Some find it easier to
      maintain and configure than BSD sendmail, especially for use with UUCP.

pdksh.tgz: A Korn shell look-alike, version 5.0.6 alpha.

g77.tgz: The GNU Fortran-77 compiler. (requires GCC 2.6.3)

gpc-1.1p2.tgz: The GNU Pascal compiler. (requires GCC 2.6.3)

perl-5.001.tgz: Perl version 5.001.

slirp-0.9j.tar.gz:  Source for a program to emulate SLIP/CSLIP from a Unix(R)
     shell account on the Internet.
