InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Newsreading is handled
by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd
and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol.
From the README:
newsfish, quite simply, is a batch USENET news reader. In other words,
it is not interactive, and it has a very simple user interface. The power
of newsfish is that it can sift through articles and save only the ones
that match your criteria. It does this by applying a set of regular
expressions (a la grep/egrep) to the headers of each article.
Articles are saved in mailbox format, which makes them suitable for
viewing under most popular mail readers.
Newsx is an NNTP client for Unix. It will connect to a remote NNTP
server and post outgoing articles batched by the news system, as well as
fetch incoming articles.
It provides the NNTP capabilities required for small local news spools
on installations with NNTP access only through limited ISP accounts. It
works well via a dialup SLIP/PPP connection.
Newsx is also well suited for large spools with normal feeds, being
used for pulling newsgroups from specific NNTP servers that are not
distributed in the usual manner. Since newsx obeys the normal news spool
configuration file and requires little or no specific configuration, the
administrative burden should be minimized.
S-news is a simple news server for hosts with one or two users. It is intened
to supply spool and offline news reading for a configured selection of
newsgroups. S-news does the minimum required to maintain a conventional news
spool and makes use of suck for news transport.
Features
--------
It provdes a NNTP service and /var/spool/news for local news readers.
It supports any number of incoming news feeds via NNTP either by IHAVE or
suck(1).
Outgoing news feeds are made from locally posted articles and reposted remotly
by rpost(1).
It expires articles by how long they have been in the spool.
It has NNTP access configuration to allow and deny read, post and transfer
access to remote hosts.
It is very light weight and relatively easy to configure.
This is a copy of malsync that produces a library instead
of an executable. It is based on malsync 2.1.

formats.
AUC TeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for
writing input files for LaTeX using GNU Emacs.
AUC TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such
as a output filters or post processor from inside Emacs. Especially
`running LaTeX' is interesting, as AUC TeX 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.
AUC TeX 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, AUC TeX provides a large range of
handy Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write
your LaTeX documents fast and painlessly.
All features of AUC TeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online
documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just
a key click away! AUC TeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence
you can easily add new features for your own needs.
cdlabelgen's purpose in life is twofold:
o To be run automatically and swiftly from a shell script
and automatically generate a frontcard and a traycard
for a cd--usually data archive cd's. The traycard
(which goes behind the CD itself) is U-shaped and the
ends of the CD case bear the label of what the CD is.
o To have a minimum of dependencies--cdlabelgen only
requires perl.
cdlabelgen was designed to simplify the process of
generating labels for CD's. It originated as a program to
allow auto generation of frontcards and traycards for CD's
burned via an automated mechanism (specifically for
archiving data), but has now become popular for labelling
CD compilations of mp3's, and copies of CDs. Note that
cdlabelgen does not actually print anything--it just spits
out postscript, which you can then do with as you please.
