$VER: Amiga_Science/School/UNIX_FAQ 2.23
This document supersedes AmigaSciSchool version 2.6.6
I will be losing net access, so this will be my last posting of the FAQ.
This FAQ is cross-posted around the middle of each month to
comp.sys.amiga.applications, comp.unix.amiga, comp.answers and news.answers
v2.23 available by anonymous FTP from wuarchive:
/systems/amiga/incoming/text/AmigaSciSchool-2.23.txt
also available on AmiNet sites: text/doc/AmigaSciSchool-2.23
The news.answers automatic archiving software will store a copy of this
posting, available by anonymous FTP on
pit-manager.mit.edu [18.172.1.27]:

The pit-manager site also provides an automated FAQ mailserver, send email to
mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with "help" in the body of your message.
This document is a summary of info I have on hand about Science/School/UNIX
software. It is designed to answer the questions I have seen most
frequently about such software on USENET. It's a combination of things I
have found out myself (I use most of these programs), information posted on
USENET newsgroups (sometimes uncredited, sorry), and responses I got to
questions I send to commercial product representatives. I have tried to
make the information herein as detailed and correct as possible; please
email me with any corrections or comments.

NOTE: some of these files/archives are very large. Often they contain
source or other files you may not need. If you are sending the files to
yourself over the phone lines, or other slow medium for which you may have
to pay, use the appropriate archiver on your UNIX system beforehand to
delete all unneeded files in the archive. The most common archiving format
is .lzh and .lha, use the lha program for these.
See Appendix A for UNIX versions of archiving programs (lha, zoo, unzip).
See note in Appendix B about Amiga archiving programs.
There is a nice review of science software in the March 1992 (#48) _.info_,
a magazine whose demise is much lamented.
1a. MAPLE V ================================================================
MAPLE V, a commercial "Mathematica"-like program is available for the
Amiga.
There is a review of Maple V in the above-mentioned _.info_ article,
pp. 35-36.
There is a more recent review of Maple V in the January 1993 (Vol. 8, #1)
_Amazing Computing_, pp. 69-71.
I received a very detailed response to my questions from Maplesoft
(specifically, from Joyce Brennan, Communications Manager). Here it is, with
several screens of additional promotional information removed at the end,
and some of the other descriptive portions summarized.

A free demo disk and product literature is available by sending Radical Eye
a FAX or a letter with your name and address.
3b. PasTeX 1.3 ==============================================================
There is also a Freely Distributable TeX called PasTeX. Look on wuarchive,
/systems/amiga/utilities/text/utils/pastex-1.3/
(see Appendix B for file listing)
Disk #1 has DVIprint (3c), ShowDVI and SpecialHost in its bin directory.
The files are full disks compressed with Zoom, from Fish #682
ftp.cso (ux1): /amiga/fish/f6/ff682/Zoom.lzh 89055 bytes
MetaFont and the Previewer fonts are separate from this distribution.
3c. DVIprint ================================================================
If you have AmigaTeX but no printer drivers, you can try using DVIprint
from the PasTeX distribution. It works remarkably well, just make a
tex:config dir and put DVIprint.printers in it.
Host athene.uni-paderborn.de
Location: /pcsoft/amiga/tex/pastex
FILE -rw-r--r-- 57858 May 26 00:00 dviprint.lha
3d. dvi2lj ==================================================================
If you have a LaserJet you may want to use dvi2lj instead of DVIprint,
it's on amiga.physik.unizh.ch and AmiNet mirrors (always use the mirrors if
possible)
/amiga/text/tex/dvi2lj.lha 109185 bytes
and also on Fish disk #797.
[thanks to barrett@astro.cs.umass.edu (Daniel Barrett) for this info]
3e. fig =====================================================================
Also for TeX you may want the PasTeX fig package, for structured drawing.
On wuarchive,
/systems/amiga/utilities/text/utils/fig.zom 319110 bytes
Uncompress with Zoom from Fish #682.
For pictures will simple straight and angled lines, I recommend the EEPIC
macros (LaTeX: epic.sty, eepic.sty). In order to print documents with EEPIC
macros and DVIprint (3c) you will need SpecialHost running; in order to
preview with ShowDVI you will also need to SpecialHost in the background.
For more complicated pictures, especially with curves, the PiCTeX macros
(LaTeX: piclatex.sty; TeX: prepictex.tex, pictex.tex, postpictex.tex) are
better but very slow on a 68000. SpecialHost is not required.
3f. ARexx macros for TeX ===================================================
I have uploaded ARexx macro things for TeXify and ToError for AmigaTeX to
wuarchive, in /systems/amiga/incoming/utils
Ed-TeX-Rexx.lha - AmigaTeX ARexx for Ed
Emacs-TeX-Rexx.lha - AmigaTeX ARexx for GNU emacs
There are also TeXify ARexx macro things for CED on wuarchive,
/systems/amiga/utilities/text/utils/texify-1.12.lzh
4. GNU emacs 18.58 A1.26 ===================================================
The author of the Amiga GNU emacs port and various GNU UNIX command
ports (ls, mv, grep, ...) is David Gay. You'll need a couple MB of
hard disk and RAM.
They are available from amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors (always try the
mirrors first).
Also, wuarchive
/systems/amiga/incoming/utils/
a1.26-emacs-18.58-bin.LHA
(full emacs, also ls, grep, sort)
(See Appendix A&B)
Contact David Gay: dgay@di.epfl.ch
4a. fifo.library ========== ================================================
Along with GNU emacs you'll probably want the fifo.library from Fish 588.
ftp.cso (ux1): /amiga/fish/f5/ff588/FifoLib.lzh 40222 bytes
5. UNIX commands ===========================================================
Most UNIX commands are available. Many of them can be found on amiga.physik
and AmiNet mirrors in util/gnu. Here are some of the ones I use:
GNUEMACS:c
etags grep
ls rmdir
sort
MRMan200
MRMan
UNIX:fileutils-3.3/c
chmod d = udir - does some dir thing, no man
dd - convert a file while copying it
ln (rmdir)
mkdir mv
rm touch
udir = d v = vdir - does a list thing, no man
vdir = v (ls)
UNIX:textutils-1.3/c
cat cmp - compare two files
comm - compare two sorted files line by line
csplit - split a file into sections determined by context lines

unshar uudecode
uuencode uusplit
UNIX:TarSplit
tarsplit
EDITORS:ispell-3.3LJR
ispell
See Appendix A and Appendix B for locations
5a. MRMan ====================================================================
A powerful "man" manual reader is MRMan 2.00, available on amiga.physik and
AmiNet mirrors (try the mirrors first)
util/misc/MRMan200.lzh
It supports a MANPATH, and you can set file readers by suffix, so that .doc
files are displayed by MuchMore and .guide files are displayed by AmigaGuide.
You can use it to access all of the man pages for the UNIX
textutils and fileutils. The ones to put in the MANPATH are the pre-formatted
/cat directories (usually).
5b. diff & patch ===========================================================
GNU diff 2.1 is available from amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors (try the
mirrors first)
util/gnu/diff-2.1.lha 460704 bytes
GNU patch is also available
util/gnu/patch-2.0.12g8.lha 126135 bytes
5c. compress, uncompress, zcat ============================================
compress is available in the compress-4.0 distribution. Note that to get
uncompress and zcat you simply copy (or link) compress
copy compress uncompress
copy compress zcat
The program operates according to the name it is invoked with.
5d. tar ====================================================================
A patched version of UNIX tar is available on wuarchive,
/systems/amiga/utilities/cli/archive/tar-patched.lzh 124633 bytes
[patching by (Alan Bair) abair@parsons.sps.mot.com]
5e. tarsplit ===============================================================
For extracting from .tar archives only you can use tarsplit.
(See Appendix A&B)
5f. ispell 3.3LJR ==========================================================
ispell 3.3 LJR is available from wuarchive,
/systems/amiga/incoming/utils/ispell-3.3LJR.lha 550746 bytes
It is also now available on Fish disk #774,
ftp.cso (ux1):/amiga/fish/f7/ff774/ISpell.lzh 554307 bytes
The hash file is about 500k, HD highly recommended. The distribution now
includes GUIspell 1.1, it also has .el files for GNUemacs and Rexx files for
many editors.
If you already have ispell, the .el files for emacs are also available on
wuarchive, /systems/amiga/utilities/text/utils/ispell.lha
5g. nroff ==================================================================
There is nroff available for the Amiga to process man files. It doesn't
handle many attributes.
wuarchive: /systems/amiga/utilities/text/utils/nroffamiga.lha 56822 bytes
5h. ixemul.library =========================================================
nroff requires v 39+ of ixemul.library, from wuarchive
/systems/amiga/incoming/misc/ixemul.lzh 78590 bytes
5i. groff ==================================================================
GNU groff has been ported for the Amiga. The archive is quite large though.
On amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors
util/gnu/groff-1.06-fix1.lha 909044 bytes
5j. du =====================================================================
The du command is used to check disk usage (blocks or bytes used by a
directory or entire partition). There are various implementations but one
that I like is by Georg Hessmann. On amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors
os20/cli/du10.lha
5k. makeinfo ===============================================================
The GNU project has come up with a standard documentation format called
TeXinfo. MakeInfo can process TeXinfo files into:
* GNU Info files, displayable by GNU emacs in Information mode, or by
InfoView which comes with the GCC distribution.
* DVI (.dvi) files, displayable by AmigaTeX preview or PasTeX ShowDVI
* ASCII files
* AmigaGuide files, which can be displayed by the newly released AmigaGuide
for 1.3 & 2.x, and by MultiView in 3.x
MakeInfo 1.49b is on Fish disk #787.
6a. UNIX dirs (. and ..) ===================================================
UNIX and AmigaDOS differ slightly in the way in which you refer to directories
UNIX AmigaDOS
Root / :
Current dir . ""
Previous dir .. /
If you prefer to use UNIX-style directory references, there is a commodity
for OS 2.04+ that will patch AmigaDOS to do so. It's called UnixDirs and is
on Fish disk #837.
6b. Automatic filename/directory completion ================================
Various UNIX shells will complete a filename for you, so you just have to type
the first letter or two and then hit a key and it will cycle through the
possible filenames or directories. There are a number of Amiga shells that
will do this, but the easiest way I have found is to use the GMC-Handler,
a CON: replacement. GMC version 9.13 is available on Fish #683. A more
recent version, 9.18, is available on amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors:
util/shell/GMC_9.18.lha 64k
6c. Shell scrollbar ========================================================
UNIX Xwindows shells like xterm offer the ability to scroll back up through
previous shell output. You can do this in an Amiga shell with Console Buffer
(CB). Version 1.1 is available on amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors. Note that
CB will not work directly with GMC: above.
util/shell/cb1.1.lha 16k
6d. UNIX-like pipe (|) =====================================================
UNIX shells offer a way to "pipe" information from the standard output of
one command to the standard input of another, e.g.
grep -i foo Barfile | more
ShellTools, from Fish #673, offers a PIPE command which understands the same
syntax
pipe grep -i foo Barfile | more
ShellTools also has a FOREACH command and a RECORDER command (to record shell
output).
7a. AWK ====================================================================
GNU AWK version 2.10beta is available on Fish disk #406.
Version 2.14 is available on amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors
util/gnu/gawk-2.14.lha 149k
7b. Flex ===================================================================
An Amiga version of lex ("LEXical analyzer generator") is available. It is
called Flex, version 2.3.7, on Fish #704.
7c. YACC ===================================================================
There is a port of Berkeley YACC (Yet Another Compiler Compiler) available on
Fish #419.
7d. BISON ==================================================================
The GNU version of YACC is called BISON. There is a version available on Fish
#155. Version 1.16 is available on amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors:
dev/lang/bison-1.16.lha 397k
7e. Perl ===================================================================
Perl version 4.035 is available on amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors:
dev/lang/perl4.035.V010.bin.lzh 412k
7f. GCC ====================================================================
GCC is a powerful C and C++ compiler. You will need a lot of memory (at least
3 MB) and hard disk space (9.3 MB) though. Available on amiga.physik and
AmiNet mirrors:
dev/gcc/gcc233.lha 3.4 megabytes
You will need the fixed versions of some of the libraries:
dev/gcc/gcc233libfix.lha 256k
It comes with InfoView for displaying GNU info format docs, and various
command-line utilities such as man, sed, and make.
7g. RCS ====================================================================
The Revision Control System (RCS) is an invaluable tool for managing
programming projects, or for keeping track of any frequently-revised
documents. Version 5.6 is available on amiga.physik and AmiNet mirrors:
dev/misc/rcs_56.lha 310k
8a. GNU plot 3.2 ===========================================================
GNU plot 3.2 is on Fish disk 701
ftp.cso (ux1): /amiga/fish/f7/ff701/GNUPlot.lzh 560824 bytes
8b. Multiplot ==============================================================
The shareware program Multiplot is excellent for plotting numerical data.
Version XLNe is on Fish disk #572.

9a. FTPmail ================================================================
You can find a list of FTPmail sites in the "Updated Internet Services
List" posted by yanoff@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Scott A. Yanoff) to USENET
group comp.misc. You can also finger him to find out other ways to
get this useful list.
There is an article about FTP and Mail-FTP in the April 1993 _UnixWorld_,
pp. 68-74. For more information on FTPmail send the word "help" via email to
ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com For BITNET users, email the world "help" to
