The beamer class is a LaTeX class that allows you to create a beamer
presentation. It can also be used to create slides. It behaves similarly
to other packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that it works
together directly with pdflatex, but also with dvips.
Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with full Unicode
support.
ltablex modifies the tabularx environment to combine the features of the
tabularx package (auto-sized columns in a fixed width table) with those
of the longtable package (multi-page tables).
A resume class for LaTeX.
latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX text into the
RTF format used by several textprocessors, including Microsoft Word
and Word for Windows. It was written by Fernando Dorner and Andreas
Granzer in a one-semester course in our department. It was later
updated in another one-semester course by Friedrich Polzer and Gerhard
Trisko. Ralf Schlatterbeck <ralf@zoo.priv.at> maintained and extended
it until 1998. It is currently being maintained by Georg Lehner,
Scott Pralh, and Wilfried Hennings
latexdiff is a Perl script that compares two latex files and marks
up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for latex files).
Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex
packages such as "color.sty". Changes not directly affecting visible
text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in
the latex source.
A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script,
latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual
editing of the difference file can be used to override this default
behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only. There are also
scripts to handle multiple-file documents, and files under version
control.
LGrind is a descendant of the Unix utility vgrind. It is
used to produce a beautified version of your source code using LaTeX. Unlike
other packages this is not pure TeX but an external preprocessor. You run e.g.
lgrind example.c > example.tex
latex example.tex
to get a complete listing. Options for producing includable files and pro-
cessing embedded listings in LaTeX texts are provided.
Support library for Cups adminstration through GNOME.

complicated internal structure of PDF.
IJS is a relatively new initiative to improve the quality and ease
of use of inkjet printing with Ghostscript. Using IJS, you can add
new drivers, or upgrade existing ones, without recompiling Ghostscript.
All driver authors are encouraged to adapt their drivers for IJS,
and if there is an IJS driver available for your printer, it should
be your first choice.
