ircd21002: ircd - The Internet Relay Chat Program Server
ircd21002: ircd is the server (daemon) program for the Internet Relay
ircd21002: Chat Program.  The ircd is a server in that  its  function
ircd21002: is  to "serve" the client program irc(1) with messages and
ircd21002: commands.  All  commands  and  user  messages  are  passed
ircd21002: directly  to the ircd for processing and relaying to other
ircd21002: ircd sites.  The irc(1) program depends upon  there  being
ircd21002: an  ircd  server  running  somewhere (either on your local
ircd21002: UNIX site or a remote ircd site)  so  that  it  will  have
ircd21002: somewhere  to  connect to and thus allow the user to begin
ircd21002: talking to other users.

noweb-2.8a: Noweb is a literate-programming tool like FunnelWEB or nuweb, only
noweb-2.8a: simpler.  A noweb file contains program source code interleaved with
noweb-2.8a: documentation.  When noweb is invoked, it writes the program source
noweb-2.8a: code to the output files mentioned in the noweb file, and it writes
noweb-2.8a: a TeX file for typeset documentation.  The author recommends using 
noweb-2.8a: LaTeX; noweb comes with an efficient LaTeX->HTML converter, so the
noweb-2.8a: resulting programs can easily be browsed on the World-Wide Web.
noweb-2.8a: More info can be found at URL http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~nr/noweb
noweb-2.8a: and on the USENET news group comp.programming.literate.

emacspeak:         emacspeak  6.0
emacspeak:  
emacspeak:  Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow
emacspeak:  someone who cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system.
emacspeak:  (Until now, the only option available to visually impaired
emacspeak:  users has been to use a talking PC as a terminal.)
emacspeak:  Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs.  Once you start emacs
emacspeak:  with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken feedback for
emacspeak:  everything you do.  Your mileage will vary depending on
emacspeak:  how well you can use Emacs.  There is nothing that you
emacspeak:  cannot do inside Emacs :-).  This package supports the
emacspeak:  DECtalk Express and DECtalk MultiVoice speech
emacspeak:  synthesizers.  For other synthesizers, look for separate
emacspeak:  driver packages.

emacspeak-dt:                emacspeak-dt 0.15
emacspeak-dt:  
emacspeak-dt:  Emacspeak by T. V. Raman enables blind users to use
emacspeak-dt:  emacs with a DECtalk speech synthesizer.  With this
emacspeak-dt:  driver, it can also be used with the DoubleTalk LT
emacspeak-dt:  synthesizer.
