APlusPlus 1.01 C++ class library for AmigaDOS functions
The A++ Library is a library written in C++ that consists of classes
assigned to the task of encapsulating the Amiga® system software. Its
aim is to provide a stable and effective method of programming the
Amiga®. That should include Exec, Dos, Intuition, ARexx, ..just
everything that makes sense being encapsulated with a proper C++ class
interface.
The A++ Library collects the hundreds of system functions, groups them
into classes that 'know' about the specialities of each function and
thus shields the programmer from using them incorrectly. The C++
programming language provides the object oriented paradigm that holds
no limitations to evolution of existing solutions.
The contents of this archive do not represent a complete and ready to
use tool but the expression of an idea showing promise. It gives only
a slight impression of what is possible. But much more can be done.

autoconf 1.11 GNU automatic configuration generator.
Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a
configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4
macro calls.
Autoconf requires GNU m4. The configuration scripts produced by
Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users
do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU m4).

bc 1.02 GNU arbitrary precision calculator lang.
A language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with interactive
execution of statements. There are some similarities in the syntax to
the C programming language.
A standard math library is available by command line option. If
requested, the math library is defined before processing any files.
bc starts by processing code from all the files listed on the command
line in the order listed. After all files have been processed, bc
reads from the standard input. All code is executed as it is read.
(If a file contains a command to halt the processor, bc will never
read from the standard input.)
This version of bc contains several extensions beyond traditional bc
implementations and the POSIX draft standard. Command line options
can cause these extensions to print a warning or to be rejected. This
document describes the language accepted by this processor.
Extensions will be identified as such.

bison 1.22 GNU parser generator yacc replacement
Bison is a parser generator in the style of yacc (1). It should be
upwardly compatible with input files designed for yacc. Input files
should follow the yacc convention of ending in ".y". Unlike yacc, the
generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix of
the input file. For instance, a grammar description file named
parse.y would produce the generated parser in a file named
parse.tab.c, instead of yacc 's y.tab.c.

cpio 2.3 GNU utility to copy to/from archives.
Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive, which is a
file that contains other files plus information about them, such as
their pathname, owner, timestamps, and access permissions. The
archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.
Cpio has three operating modes. In copy-out mode, cpio copies files
into an archive. It reads a list of filenames, one per line, on the
standard input, and writes the archive onto the standard output. A
typical way to generate the list of filenames is with the find
command; you should give find the -depth option to minimize problems
with permissions on directories that are unwritable or not searchable.
In copy-in mode, cpio copies files out of an archive or lists the
archive contents. It reads the archive from the standard input. Any
non-option command line arguments are shell globbing patterns; only
files in the archive whose names match one or more of those patterns
are copied from the archive. Unlike in the shell, an initial `.' in a
filename does match a wildcard at the start of a pattern, and a `/' in
a filename can match wildcards. If no patterns are given, all files
are extracted.
In copy-pass mode, cpio copies files from one directory tree to
another, combining the copy-out and copy-in steps without actually
using an archive. It reads the list of files to copy from the
standard input; the directory into which it will copy them is given as
a non-option argument.
Cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new
ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar.
The binary format is obsolete because it encodes information about the
files in a way that is not portable between different machine
architectures. The old ASCII format is portable between different
machine architectures, but should not be used on file systems with
more than 65536 i-nodes. The new ASCII format is portable between
different machine architectures and can be used on any size file
system, but is not supported by all versions of cpio; currently, it is
only supported by GNU and Unix System V R4. The crc format is like
the new ASCII format, but also contains a checksum for each file which
cpio calculates when creating an archive and verifies when the file is
extracted from the archive. The HPUX formats are provided for
compatibility with HPUX's cpio which stores device files differently.
The tar format is provided for compatability with the tar program. It
can not be used to archive files with names longer than 100
characters, and can not be used to archive "special" (block or
character devices) files. The POSIX.1 tar format can not be used to
archive files with names longer than 255 characters (less unless they
have a "/" in just the right place).
By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility
with older cpio programs. When extracting from archives, cpio
automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can
read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.
Some of the options to cpio apply only to certain operating modes; see
the SYNOPSIS section for a list of which options are allowed in which
modes.

dc 0.2 GNU reverse-polish (RPN) desk calculator
DC is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
precision arithmetic. It also allows you to define and call macros.
Normally DC reads from the standard input; if any command arguments
are given to it, they are filenames, and DC reads and executes the
contents of the files before reading from standard input. All output
is to standard output.

diffutils 2.6 GNU diff, diff3, sdiff and cmp utilities
This directory contains the GNU diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp utilities.
Their features are a superset of the Unix features and they are
significantly faster. cmp has been moved here from the GNU textutils.
Computer users often find occasion to ask how two files differ.
Perhaps one file is a newer version of the other file. Or maybe the
two files started out as identical copies but were changed by
different people.
You can use the diff command to show differences between two files, or
each corresponding file in two directories. diff outputs differences
between files line by lin
