- 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.

- bc: GNU bc 1.03 - An arbitrary precision calculator language.
- bc:
- bc: bc is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with

- ftape: ftape 2.03b
- ftape:
- ftape: Bas Laarhoven's FTAPE module.
- ftape:
- ftape: The FTAPE driver allows you to use a QIC-40 or QIC-80 floppy tape
- ftape: drive with Linux.
- ftape:
- ftape: This module was compiled under Linux 1.2.13 ELF.

- ghostscr: Ghostscript version 2.6.2
- ghostscr: Preview, print and process PostScript documents on both PostScript and
- ghostscr: non-PostScript devices. This version supports all SVGAlib video modes
- ghostscr: for output directly to the screen. See the man page for 'gs' for more
- ghostscr: information. [NOTE]: The /usr/bin/gs binary included with this package
- ghostscr: does not support X11; support was left out so that Slackware users
- ghostscr: without X could use SVGAlib output and not need to install the X
- ghostscr: shared libraries. If you need X11 support, you should also install the
- ghostscr: package 'gs_x11' found on the XAP series. It contains a /usr/bin/gs
- ghostscr: with support for X11 (as well as full SVGAlib support).

- gp9600: Change the default modem speed from 9600 baud.
- gp9600:
- gp9600: By default, your baud rate will be set to 9600. If you install this
- gp9600: package, a menu will be presented later which allows you to select any
- gp9600: of the following baud rates:
- gp9600:
- gp9600: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.
- gp9600:
- gp9600: If you need something faster than this, you should set the baud to
- gp9600: 38400, which can be changed to mean a faster rate with setserial.

- jed: John E. Davis's JED 0.97-9 editor.
- jed:
- jed: JED is an extremely powerful but small emacs programmer's editor that
- jed: is extensible in a C-like macro language and is able to perform color
- jed: syntax highlighting. Among the many features:
- jed: Emacs, wordstar, EDT emulation;
- jed: C, Fortran, TeX, text editing modes; Full undo;
- jed: GNU Emacs compatible info reader, and lots more.

- mt_st: mt-st-0.2 - controls magnetic tape drive operation
- mt_st:
- mt_st: This mt originates from BSD NET-2. Some Linux SCSI tape-specific
- mt_st: ioctls have been added to the original source and the man page has
- mt_st: been updated. Although this mt program is tailored for SCSI tape, it
- mt_st: can also be used with the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with other Linux
- mt_st: tape drivers using the same ioctls (some of the commands may not work
- mt_st: with all drivers).

- sudo: sudo 1.2
- sudo:
- sudo: 'sudo' is a command that allows users to execute some commands as
