libtai is a library for storing and manipulating dates and times.
libtai supports two time scales: (1) TAI64, covering a few hundred
billion years with 1-second precision; (2) TAI64NA, covering the
same period with 1-attosecond precision. Both scales are defined
in terms of TAI, the current international real time standard.

KBiff is a "biff" or new mail notification utility. It is highly
configurable but very easy to use and setup. It tries to combine
the best of the features of most of the "other" biff programs out
there.
KBiff supports all major mailbox formats: mbox (Berkely style),
maildir, mh, POP3, IMAP4, and NNTP.
KBiff is also part of the KDE project. Among other things, this
means that it has support for session management (it "remembers"
the last state it was in before you logged off) and can be docked
into the panel.

That device is ways faster than the traditional x11 device, especially
with anti-aliasing turned on. Unfortunately, it requires shared libraries
and does not interface with gv.
Note: I hope all devices are back in. Those of you looking for hp850 &
friends support, the driver has been integrated into the `uniprint' driver.

Blatte is a very powerful text markup and transformation language
with a very simple syntax. A Blatte document can be translated
into a Perl program that, when executed, produces a transformed
version of the input document.
`aladdin' stopped developping ghostscript. What exists is now called
`afpl'.
The 7.00 version offers a whole new set of possibilities. I haven't
even tried for compiling the gtk glue yet, but the most visible one
is the new, much improved aa support in x11 (compare the sample files
with old x11alpha and new x11 with aa options, as per gv).
Rename the directory along, leave aladdin ghostscript alone for now:
in two weeks time, GNU ghostscript 6.51 ships, and this will be just
aladdin ghostscript 6.50 with s/Aladding/GNU/. We want this for the CD.
port.
- why bother creating a man page if we don't install it ?
- our echo does handle \n, so it needs to be protected.
- for that matter, yield a sensible list of directories for OpenBSD.
- INSTALL script that predates dependencies...
And:
- prepare for gs 7.00, detect the version of ghostscript installed,
and tweak resource files to use x11 device with aa options instead
of the older x11alpha. Mark resource files as no checksum accordingly.
