Though originally designed for inexperienced email users, Alpine
supports many advanced features, and an ever-growing number of
configuration and personal-preference options.

Alpine (formerly Pine) features improved support for UTF-8 and the code
is licensed under the Apache License.

Despite many improvements "under the hood" (the bugs which were
introduced by them were ironed out during more than a full year of
public beta testing), the user interface stays the same, so pine users
can switch painlessly to alpine and notice no change at all.

It uses the same configuration files as pine, so it's a clean update.

The biggest user-visible change are the new animations which are shown
when operations take a long time.

Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain
Name System (DNS) protocols and provides an openly redistributable
reference implementation of the major components of the Domain Name
System. This package includes the components to operate a DNS server.

Add useful and nice-looking widgets to your interfaces with the BWidget
Toolkit, a set of native Tk 8.x Widgets using Tcl8.x namespaces. The
BWidgets have a professional look and feel as in other well-known
toolkits (Tix or Incr Widget). However, the concept is radically
different because everything is native. There is no platform
compilation and no compiled extension libraries are needed. The code is
in pure Tcl/Tk.

Cecilia is a Tcl/Tk front-end for the Csound sound synthesis program.

Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX,
designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. It provides a
number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database
updates. The core of the package is an anti-virus engine available in a
form of shared library.

Here is a list of the main features:

* command-line scanner

* fast, multi-threaded daemon with support for on-access scanning

* milter interface for sendmail

* advanced database updater with support for scripted updates and
digital signatures

* virus scanner C library

* on-access scanning (Linux and FreeBSD)

* virus database updated multiple times per day (see home page for
total number of signatures)

* built-in support for various archive formats, including Zip, RAR,
Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, OLE2, Cabinet, CHM, BinHex, SIS and others

* built-in support for almost all mail file formats

* built-in support for ELF executables and Portable Executable files
compressed with UPX, FSG, Petite, NsPack, wwpack32, MEW, Upack
and obfuscated with SUE, Y0da Cryptor and others

* built-in support for popular document formats including MS Office and
MacOffice files, HTML, RTF and PDF

This package contains the driver for the ECI Hi-Focus ADSL USB modem.
It also supports many USB ADSL modems based on the Globespan chipset.
It is not a kernel module. It is a user-mode program that handles the
modem. A kernel module is under development.

EPIC is an IRC client almost 100% compatible with the old ircII client
from which it was derived. It has improved scripting, better
configurability, and more.

Exmh is an X user interface for NMH mail. NMH provides a set of UNIX
commands that manage folders and mail messages. NMH has many features
as a result of several years of availability. Exmh provides a graphical
interface to many of these features, but not everything.

Expect is a tool primarily for automating interactive applications,
such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, and more. Expect
really makes this stuff trivial. Expect is also useful for testing
these applications. It is described in many books, articles, papers,
and FAQs. There is an entire book on it available from O'Reilly.

Frink is a Tcl formatting and static check program. It can prettify
your program, and minimize, obfuscate, or sanity check it. It can also
do some rewriting.

See /usr/share/doc/packages/frink/README and the output of "frink -h"
for details.

HFS is the Hierarchical File System used on modern Macintosh computers.
With this package, you can read and write Macintosh-formatted media,
such as floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and SCSI hard disks on most UNIX
platforms. You can also format raw media into an HFS volume.

These utilities are needed for configuring and using ISDN devices. This
package includes special tools for network connections via ISDN. Other
tools for setup of various ISDN cards and for monitoring ISDN
connections are also included.

Incr Tcl adds object-oriented programming facilities to Tcl. It was
NOT designed as another whiz-bang, object-oriented programming
language. It is patterned somewhat after C++. It was designed to
support more structured programming in Tcl. Scripts that grow beyond a
few thousand lines become extremely difficult to maintain. [incr Tcl]
attacks this problem in the same way that any object- oriented
programming language would, by providing mechanisms for data
encapsulation behind well-defined interfaces.

[incr Widgets] is an object-oriented mega-widget set that extends
Tcl/Tk and is based on [incr Tcl] and [incr Tk]. This set of
mega-widgets delivers many new, general purpose widgets like option
menus, comboboxes, selection boxes, and various dialogs whose
counterparts are found in Motif and Windows. Since [incr Widgets] is
based on the [incr Tk] extension, the Tk framework of configuration
options, widget commands, and default bindings is maintained. In other
words, each [incr Widgets] mega-widget seamlessly blends with the
standard Tk widgets. They look, act, and feel like Tk widgets. In
addition, all [incr Widgets] mega-widgets are object oriented and may
themselves be extended, using either inheritance or composition.

The Berkeley DB Database is a programmatic toolkit that provides
database support for applications.

This package contains the necessary runtime libraries.

These are the Java bindings for the Berkeley DB. They are needed for
the Java support of db and dbxml.

LIBPGEASY is a simplified C interface that hides some of the complexity
of LIBPQ.

This is the standard library for C++ programs that connect to a
PostgreSQL database server.

nmh (new MH) is a powerful electronic mail handling system. It was
originally based on version 6.8.3 of the MH message system developed by
the RAND Corporation and the University of California. It is intended
to be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.

nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs
to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages.
Because nmh is a suite rather than a single monolithic program, you may
freely intersperse nmh commands with other commands at your shell
prompt or write custom scripts that use these commands in flexible
ways.

DBD::Pg is a Perl module that works with the DBI module to provide access
to PostgreSQL databases.

PgAccess is a graphical interface and application building environment
for PostgreSQL.

pgAdmin III is an administration and management tool for the PostgreSQL
database and derivative products such as EnterpriseDB, Mammoth PostgreSQL,
Pervasive Postgres, and SRA PowerGres. It includes a graphical administration
interface, an SQL query tool with graphical EXPLAIN, a procedural code editor,
an SQL/shell/batch scheduling agent, Slony-I management, and much more. It is
designed to answer the needs of most users, from writing simple SQL queries to
developing complex databases. The graphical interface supports all PostgreSQL
features and makes administration easy.

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