Entered-date: 11AUG94
Description: The latest version of Unix Angband. Fixes most known
bugs. Linux compatibility is now built in to the code.
This is a Dungeons and Dragons like game in the spirit
of "rogue" and "hack". Very heavily Tolkien-influenced.
Hundreds of unique artifacts and monsters.
This game has a long history, a descendant of Moria by

it into Angband. Chuck Swiger cleaned up the code a lot.
Pete Berger added Linux (and NetBSD, IBM RT) compatibility.
Description: Calc is a programmable calculator that uses a C-like language.
It handles arbitrarily large integers, fractions, and complex
numbers. It has matrices, lists, strings, and user-defined
"objects". There are many built-in functions such as sin, cos,
exp, fact, fib, gcd, and primality testing. There is also a
library of functions written in the calculator language.
The low-level arbitrary precision routines are built into a
library so that they can be called from your own C programs.
The version of the calculator stored on sunsite is an exact
copy of an official version from ftp.uu.net. There are no
modifications required to compile it for Linux. Check the
ftp.uu.net site occasionally for new versions of calc. No
binaries are provided since they are larger than the source.
Runs on almost any flavor of UNIX.
Most 32 or 64 bit machines, both little and bit endian.
No assembly code required.
Self-configuring.

Description: This package automates the data entry needed for maintaining the LSM. It is used by individual contributors to automatically generate and email the LSM to the LSM maintainer. curses-based.
Source code is not released with this package - it is generated automatically by a code generator and the libraries are quite large). Commercial source licensing is available.
Description: This package allows you to quite flexibly redefine what each key does while the keyboard operates in cooked mode (i.e. not in raw mode like in editors or in X). It contains utilities to load and dump key mapping files, check what scan or keycodes each key sends plus a collection of complete key mappings for different national layouts.
I'd like to make the keytable collection as comprehensive as possible. Send any maps of general interest to me and I'll include them in the next version. May the force be with you.

Description: Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface very similar to Matlab[tm] for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for plotting the results (using gnuplot).

The underlying numerical solvers are currently standard Fortran ones like Lapack, Linpack, Odepack, the Blas, etc., packaged in a library of C++ classes.

Package includes 4 examples illustrating starting xterms, editing files, looking up man pages and chekcing spelling.
This was developed under Linux but works on Suns (and others) too. Drag and drop works with OpenWindows 3 apps - sadly Linux only has cmdtool. Select and paste works with most X apps. It is Open Look so it's future is uncertain:(

Title: Yorick
Version: 1.0
Entered-date: 24Oct94
Description: Yorick is a very fast interpreted language designed for
scientific computing and numerical analysis. The syntax
is similar to C, but without declarative statements.
Operations between arrays yield array results, and Yorick
provides a very rich selection of multi-dimensional array
indexing operations. Yorick also features a binary I/O
package which automatically translates floating point and
integer representations on the machine where it is running
to and from the format of any other machine. Thus, you can
easily share binary files between, for example, Cray YMPs
and DEC alphas, or "teach" Yorick to read existing binary
databases. Yorick also offers an interactive graphics
package based on X windows. X-Y plots, quadrilateral
meshes, filled meshes, cell arrays, and contours are
supported. Finally, you can embed compiled routines in
custom versions of Yorick to solve problems for which the
interpreter is too slow. The primary use of Yorick to date
has been as a pre- and post-processor for large physical
simulation programs.
Keywords: interpreter, language, interactive graphics, data analysis,
post-processing

The scripts allow the definition of `volumes' to back up and maintain file lists and dates of each full or incremental backup of each volume. Contains a comprehensive document about the implemented backup scheme, reviewing 3 archive programs.
The backup scripts basically take the administrative load of making backups off your back by (a) interfacing to the afio program, (b) allowing you to define volumes to back up and (c) by maintaining lists/stamps of all backups.

This is a first offering to the Linux community and my first
real attempt at shell-script programming. If the earth
doesn't move I'll not be surprised.
L.B.U will run on most any Linux system. It is a bit slow
on a 386 (still quite useable) and fine on a 486. It requires
common Unix utils to be present and in the PATH. See Readme.

Version: linux-cvs-pl15i
Description: This is a CVS tree containing the Linux kernel sources, versions 0.99.14 though 0.99.15i. If you don't already have CVS, get my binary distribution for Linux, which I uploaded some days ago. It also contains all the docs. Don't use it if you are able to compile the source yourself. I will *not* support the binary CVS distribution. I'm sorry to say, but the default branch of Master/linux currently contains my working version of the Linux kernel. If you want a "clean" (Linus) version, you can always get one of the LINUX_0_99* revisions from CVS. My branch currently contains cluster-pl15h and iBCS diffs, support for loadable file systems and checkpoint restart, and uses pseudo-BSD style config. I release this primarily so that everyone can have access to the full set of Linus' releases using a finite amount of disk space.
