- AUCTeX: an integrated environment for editing LaTeX, ConTeXt, docTeX, Texinfo, and TeX documents
(package: auctex)
- AUCTeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for
writing input files for TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt/Texinfo using Emacs.
It lets you process your source files by running TeX and related tools (such
as output filters, post processors for generating indices and bibliographies,
and viewers) from inside Emacs. AUCTeX lets you browse through the errors
TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the reported error, and
displays some documentation for that particular error. This will even work
when the document is spread over several files.
One component of AUCTeX that LaTeX users will find attractive is
preview-latex, a combination of folding and in-source previewing that
provides true "What You See Is What You Get" experience in your source buffer,
while letting you retain full control. preview-latex comes with its own
manual.
AUCTeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write
it---you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a
special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting an overview' of
a document.
Apart from these special features, AUCTeX provides a large range of handy
Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write your
documents fast and painlessly.
All features of AUCTeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online
documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just a key
click away!
AUCTeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily add new
features for your own needs. It has become recently a GNU project. AUCTeX
is distributed under the `GNU General Public License Version 2'.

- preview-latex: WYSIWYG LaTeX editing with Emacs and AUCTeX
(package: auctex)
- preview-latex is a package embedding preview fragments into Emacs
source buffers under the AUCTeX editing environment for LaTeX. It uses
`preview.sty' for the extraction of certain environments (most notably
displayed formulas). Other applications of this style file are possible and
exist.
Formats: [html] [info]
- The preview Package for LaTeX
(package: preview-latex-style)
- The main purpose of this package is the extraction of certain
environments (most notably displayed formulas) from LaTeX sources as graphics.
This works with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or
dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF files
(usually also postprocessed by Ghostscript).
Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for WYSIWYG
functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of previews in
LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the tbook XML system and
some other tools.

- Use of index and the "racy git" problem
(package: git-doc)
- In order to speed up comparison between files in
the work tree and index entries, git compares current
lstat(2) information with saved lstat(2) information from
whenever it updated the corresponding index entry. A very
quick update that does not change file size could therefore
make git incorrectly think files in the working tree are
unmodified even though they actually are modified. This is
called the "racy git" problem (discovered by Pasky), and
the entries that would appear clean when they ought not to
be because of this problem are called "racily clean".
This document explains how git avoids that problem.

configuration notes for various special platforms. In addition to this
file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as
it is heavily commented and should include everything most people
will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng.
Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
file format in application programs. The PNG specification is available
as RFC 2083 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2083.txt> and as a
W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-png-multi.html>. Some
additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks

- Fast LEXical analyzer generator
Flex is a tool for generating programs that perform pattern-matching on

patterns in text. `flex' reads the given input files, or its
standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a
scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of
regular expressions and C code, called "rules". `flex' generates as
output a C source file, `lex.yy.c', which defines a routine
`yylex()'. This file is compiled and linked with the `-lfl' library
to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyzes
its input for occurrences of the regular expressions. Whenever it
finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.

The Alnuth package provides various methods to compute with number fields
which are given by a defining polynomial or by generators. Some of the
methods provided in this package are written in GAP code. The other part of
the methods is imported from the computer algebra system PARI/GP. Hence this
package contains some GAP functions and an interface to some functions in the
computer algebra system PARI/GP. The main methods included in Alnuth are:
creating a number field, computing its maximal order (using PARI/GP),
computing its unit group (using PARI/GP) and a presentation of this unit
group, computing the elements of a given norm of the number field (using
PARI/GP), determining a presentation for a finitely generated multiplicative
subgroup (using PARI/GP), and factoring polynomials defined over number
fields (using PARI/GP).

fundamental polyhedral computations such as representation conversions and linear
programming in both floating-point and GMP rational exact arithmetic. Please read
the accompanying README file and test programs to complement the manual.
The new functions added in this version include dd MatrixCanonicalize to find a non-
redundant proper H- or V-representation, dd FindRelativeInterior to find a relative
interior point of an H-polyhedron, and dd ExistsRestrictedFace (Farkas-type
alternative theorem verifier) to check the existence of a point satisfying a
specified system of linear inequalities possibly including multiple strict
inequalities.
The new functions are particularly important for the development of related software
packages MinkSum (by Ch. Weibel) and Gfan (by Anders Jensen).

- Computing the Automorphism Group of a p-Group
(package: gap-autpgrp)
The AutPGrp package introduces a new function to compute the automorphism
group of a finite p-group. The underlying algorithm is a refinement of the
methods described in O'Brien (1995). In particular, this implementation is
more efficient in both time and space requirements and hence has a wider
range of applications than the ANUPQ method. Our package is written in GAP
code and it makes use of a number of methods from the GAP library such as the
MeatAxe for matrix groups and permutation group functions. We have compared
our method to the others available in GAP. Our package usually out-performs
all but the method designed for finite abelian groups. We note that our
method uses the small groups library in certain cases and hence our algorithm
is more effective if the small groups library is installed.

- Gfan version 0.6: A User’s Manual
(package: gfan)
- Gfan is a software package for computing Gröbner fans and tropical
varieties. These are polyhedral fans associated to polynomial ideals. The
maximal cones of a Gröbner fan are in bijection with the marked reduced
Gröbner bases of its defining ideal. The software computes all marked
reduced Gröbner bases of an ideal. Their union is a universal Gröbner
basis. The tropical variety of a polynomial ideal is a certain subcomplex
of the Gröbner fan. Gfan contains algorithms for computing this complex
for general ideals and specialized algorithms for tropical curves, tropical
hypersurfaces and tropical varieties of prime ideals. In addition to the
above core functions the package contains many tools which are useful in
the study of Gröbner bases, initial ideals and tropical geometry. The full
list of commands can be found in Appendix B. For ordinary Gröbner basis
computations Gfan is not competitive in speed compared to programs such
as CoCoA, Singular and Macaulay2.

- GP2C types and the description system.
(package: pari-gp2c)
- The main feature GP2C adds above GP is the use of types. Types give a
semantic to PARI objects, so that GP2C can generate code that use specialized
(hence faster) PARI functions instead of generic ones.

- IO: Bindings for low level C library I/O routines
(package: gap-io)
The purpose of this package is to allow efficient and flexible
Input/Output operations from GAP. This is achieved by providing
bindings to the low-level I/O functions in the C-library.
On top of this an implementation of buffered I/O in the GAP language
is provided. Further, a framework for serialisation of arbitrary GAP
objects is implemented. Finally, an implementation of the client side
of the HTTP protocol is included in the package. This package allows one
to use file based I/O, access to links and file systems, pipes, sockets,
and the UDP and TCP/IP protocols.
- LAGUNA: Lie AlGebras and UNits of group Algebras
(package: gap-laguna)
“LAGUNA” stands for “Lie AlGebras and UNits of group Algebras”. LAGUNA extends
the GAP functionality for computations in group rings. Besides computing some
general properties and attributes of group rings and their elements, LAGUNA is
able to perform two main kinds of computations. Namely, it can verify whether
a group algebra of a finite group satisfies certain Lie properties; and it can
calculate the structure of the normalized unit group of a group algebra of a
finite p-group over the field of p elements.

It reads a syntax file and a data file, analyzes the data, and writes
the results to a listing file, standard output or various other output formats.
The language accepted by PSPP is similar to those accepted by SPSS
statistical products. The details of PSPP's language are given
in this manual.
Besides the command line tools it also features a GTK+ based GUI named psppire,
that is user friendly and also provides an integrated help system.

- The GAP Library of Tables of Marks
(package: gap-table-of-marks)
The concept of a Table of Marks was introduced by W.Burnside in his book
"Theory of Groups of Finite Order". Therefore a table of marks is
sometimes called a Burnside matrix. The table of marks of a finite group G
is a matrix whose rows and columns are labelled by the conjugacy classes of
subgroups of G and where for two subgroups H and K the (H, K)-entry is the
number of fixed points of K in the transitive action of G on the cosets of H
in G. So the table of marks characterizes the set of all permutation
representations of G. Moreover, the table of marks gives a compact
description of the subgroup lattice of G, since from the numbers of fixed
points the numbers of conjugates of a subgroup K contained in a subgroup H
can be derived. For small groups the table of marks of G can be constructed
directly in GAP by first computing the entire subgroup lattice of G.
However, for larger groups this method is unfeasible. The GAP Table of Marks
library provides access to several hundred table of marks and their maximal
subgroups.

- The GNU BC arbitrary precision calculator
(package: bc)
- bc is 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.)
- The GNU DC arbitrary precision calculator
(package: dc)
- GNU 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 instead of reading from standard input. All normal output
is to standard output; all error messages are written to standard error.
