a2ps:     GNU a2ps-4.13b.
a2ps:
a2ps:     GNU a2ps is an Any to PostScript filter.  Of course it processes
a2ps:     plain text files, but also pretty prints quite a few popular
a2ps:     programming languages.  a2ps is used by apsfilter (apsfilt.tgz),
a2ps:     so be sure to install this package if you plan to do any printing.
a2ps:     Also contained in this package is psutils-1.17, a collection of
a2ps:     programs for manipulating PostScript files.

apsfilt:  apsfilter-6.1.1.
apsfilt:
apsfilt:  Apsfilter is a printer input filter.  With apsfilter installed and
apsfilt:  configured, you can print many different file types (like ASCII,
apsfilt:  PostScript, and DVI, as well as compressed versions of all of these)
apsfilt:  directly with 'lpr', and apsfilter will automatically handle the
apsfilt:  conversion process on the fly.

apsfilt:  To configure apsfilter, run the SETUP program in /usr/lib/apsfilter.

ash:      Kenneth Almquist's ash shell.
ash:
ash:      A lightweight (62K) Bourne compatible shell.  Great for machines with
ash:      low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash,
ash:      tcsh, and zsh.  Runs most shell scripts compatible with the Bourne
ash:      shell.  Note that under Linux, most scripts seem to use at least some
ash:      bash-specific syntax.  The Slackware setup scripts are a notable
ash:      exception, since ash is the shell used on the install disks.  NetBSD
ash:      uses ash as its /bin/sh.

cdparano: cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8
cdparano:
cdparano: Cdparanoia is a Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) extraction tool,
cdparano: commonly known on the net as a 'ripper'.  It reads digital audio data
cdparano: from a Compact Disc and saves it to sound files.  Cdparanoia has been
cdparano: designed to read correct audio data even using cheap CDROM drives
cdparano: prone to misalignment, frame jitter and loss of streaming.
cdparano: Cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been
cdparano: damaged in some way.

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

ksh93:    The KornShell language and interactive shell were designed by
ksh93:    David G. Korn at AT&T Bell Laboratories.  Besides offering a powerful
ksh93:    interactive shell, it also offers a robust programming language with
ksh93:    such features as associative arrays and built in integer math
ksh93:    operations.  ksh is an excellent choice for system administration
ksh93:    scripts and for everyday interactive use.

lvm:      lvm_0.9.1_beta6
lvm:
lvm:      Heinz Mauelshagen's LVM (Logical Volume Manager) for Linux.
lvm:      LVM adds an additional layer between the physical peripherals and the
lvm:      I/O interface in the 2.4.x kernel to get a logical view of disks.  
lvm:      This allows the concatenation of several disks (so-called physical
lvm:      volumes or PVs) to form a storage pool (so-called Volume Group or VG)
lvm:      with allocation units called physical extents (called PE).  With LVM,
lvm:      you can actually extend, resize, or relocate storage dynamically.

rpm:      Before installing any binary package, it's wise to examine it to
rpm:      see what it's going to do, and if it will overwrite any files.  You
rpm:      can use rpm2tgz to convert .rpm packages to .tgz packages so you
