ncftp-2.4.2 A smart ftp client from ftp://www.probe.net/. ispell-3.1.20 Interactive spelling checker (for use within emacs or stand-alone). gzip-1.2.4 (a man page is also available) latest version- this one accepts the .gz extension gtar-1.11.8 No path/filename length restriction, on the fly decompression and compression of tar files, changes ownership of untarred directories if needed, etc. etc. etc. gsed-2.05 (man page is for HP sed) This is the GNU version of sed. Espeicially on HPs, the vendor- provided sed doesn't seem to be very good. If a GNU configure script fails, creating a symbolic link to it from $HOME/sed will sometimes fix the problem. bison-1.24 yacc compatible replacement +more features flex-2.5.2 lexical analyzer used by some packages diffutils-2.7, fileutils-3.12, and findutils-4.1 These are all installed with a g prefix, so you have to alias the ones you want, or you will still run the default ones. gchgrp gchmod gchown gcmp gcp gd gdd gdf gdiff gdiff3 gdir gdu gfind ginstall gln glocate gls gmkdir gmkfifo gmknod gmv grm grmdir gsdiff gtouch ncurses-4.1 Gnu's version of system V curses for building text-based user interfaces. Also includes libform, libpanel, libmenu, and a recent copy of a terminfo database. To use ncurses with the way I've installed it, you must compile and link with "-I/apps/gnu/include -L/apps/gnu/lib" and reference the include files with names like <ncurses/curses.h>. mkisofs-1.11 Creates CDROM images ready for a CD-Recorder. Our version came with the cdrecord-1.6 program and has been slightly modified by the author of cdrecord. The cdrecord program is only installed on the machine with the burner, but images can be created on any machine. xntp3-5.90-export Time daemon that keeps system clocks synchronized. [NOTE: We've had xntp on HP for quite a while, but I'm in the process of installing it on Suns. This application is not of interest to normal users, as it is just a system daemon.] runon Improved version of "rsh" or "remsh". This might be of use to people writing CGIs or anything else that has to switch hosts before doing its stuff. It transfers your entire environment, including your DISPLAY variable, and starts up in the same working directory at the remote end. If the remote command fails, runon will return failure as well (unlike rsh/remsh!). See the man page for details.
