Free gnus software for linux

Gnus is a flexible message reader running under GNU Emacs. Gnus supports reading and composing both news and mail. In addition, it is able to use a number of web-based sources as inputs for its groups.
The main Gnus goal is to provide the user with an efficient and extensible interface towards dealing with large numbers of messages, no matter the form they may have or wherever they may come from.
Gnus is a fully MIME-compliant and supports reading and composing messages using any charset that GNU Emacs supports.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes many bugs in 5.10.6.

GNU adns is a resolver library for C and C++ programs.
Includes automatic sanity checking and responses that are automatically decoded into a natural C representation. Very easy to use for simple programs that just want to look up MX records or translate names to addresses.
Time-to-live, CNAME, and similar information are returned in an easy to use manner, and you can launch many queries at once and deal with the replies asynchronously. The program reports errors in a way that distinguishes the cause of failure.
Main features:
- It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want to translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc.
- It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many queries can be handled simultaneously.
- Responses are decoded automatically into a natural representation for a C program - there is no need to deal with DNS packet formats.
- Sanity checking (eg, name syntax checking, reverse/forward correspondence, CNAME pointing to CNAME) is performed automatically.
- Time-to-live, CNAME and other similar information is returned in an easy-to-use form, without getting in the way.
- There is no global state in the library; resolver state is an opaque data structure which the client creates explicitly. A program can have several instances of the resolver.
- Errors are reported to the application in a way that distinguishes the various causes of failure properly.
- Understands conventional resolv.conf, but this can overridden by environment variables.
- Flexibility. For example, the application can tell adns to: ignore environment variables (for setuid programs), disable hostname syntax sanity checks to return arbitrary data, override or ignore resolv.conf in favour of supplied configuration, etc.
- Believed to be correct ! For example, will correctly back off to TCP in case of long replies or queries, or to other nameservers if several are available. It has sensible handling of bad responses etc.

GNU Anubis is an SMTP message submission daemon. It represents an intermediate layer between mail user agent (MUA) and mail transport agent (MTA), receiving messages from the MUA, applying to them a set of predefined changes and finally inserting modified messages into an MTA routing network.

The set of changes applied to a message is configurable on a system-wide and per-user basis. The built-in configuration language used for defining sets of changes allows for considerable flexibility and is easily extensible.

GNU CLISP is an ANSI Common Lisp implementation with an interpreter, compiler, debugger, object system (CLOS, MOP), sockets, fast bignums, and foreign language interface which runs on most UNIXes and Win32.
Common Lisp is a high-level, all-purpose, object-oriented, dynamic, functional programming language.
CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible, then of Karlsruhe University, and Michael Stoll, then of Munich University, both in Germany. GNU CLISP supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard plus many extensions.
CLISP includes an interpreter, a compiler, a debugger, CLOS, MOP, a foreign language interface, i18n, regular expressions, a socket interface, and more. An X11 interface is available through CLX, Garnet and CLUE/CLIO. Command line editing is provided by readline. CLISP runs Maxima, ACL2 and many other Common Lisp packages.
CLISP runs on most Unix workstations (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX and others) and on other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs only 4 MB of RAM.
CLISP is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL. You may distribute commercial proprietary applications compiled with CLISP, see file COPYRIGHT in the CLISP distribution.
The user interface comes in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian and Danish, and can be changed at run time.
Enhancements:
- The new libsvm module makes Support Vector Machines available in CLISP.

GNU Chess project is a computer program which plays the Game of Chess.
GNU Chess lets most modern computers play a full game of chess.
It has a plain terminal interface but supports visual interfaces such as X-Windows "xboard" and Windows-for-PC "winboard" as well as a full 3-dimensional wooden chess-board protocol for the Novag Chess board enabling one to be relatively free of the computer itself.
Enhancements:
- Minor ScoreDev code tidy
- ensure gnuchessx included in EXTRA_DIST
- Fix to Posix thread for readline
- Fix to ensure "HARD" is default
- Improve Posix thread handling
- Portability fix IsTrustedPlayer
- Portability fix to lexpgn.l
- Changes to lexpgn.l to handle some special cases
- Fix trailing "/" in FEN causes buffer overflow issues.
- Portability fix to lexpgn.l

GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. GNU ed is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts.
A restricted version of `ed, `red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. `ed is the `standard text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available.
Enhancements:
- The testsuite now exits unsuccesfully in case of error.
- Some minor problems in the manual page have been fixed.
- The GFDL has been added to the info file.

GNU/DOS is a FreeDOS distribution.
Main features:
- Several core FreeDOS packages
- The DJGPP development environment with many GNU programs
- The Arachne Web browser and e-mail client
- The OpenGEM graphical user interface with many GEM programs
- The vim editor for developers
- The MTXE screen saver
- GPL, GPL with DJGPP exceptions, vim, Artistic License, Jason Hood License, and LGPL licensed source code for all of the above
GNU/DOS is very well suited for:
- Web and e-mail (no Java or other "plugins") through a dial-up modem (not a "Winmodem") or Ethernet connection
- Classic DOS and console UNIX applications and games
- Development (using the GNU Compiler Collection)
- And more!
Enhancements:
- This release features various updates, bugfixes, and new programs.
- Arachne 1.90 and vim 7.0 were included along with various DJGPP updates and a bootable CD installation option.

GNU Termutils provides control utilities for the GNU terminal.
This directory contains the GNU terminal control utilities tput and tabs. tput is a program to enable shell scripts to portably use special terminal capabilities. Although its interface is similar to that of terminfo-based tput programs, it actually uses termcap. tabs is a program to set hardware terminal tab settings.
Enhancements:
- Package renamed to termutils.
- Added SysV tabs utility.
- tput has longname, init and reset options.
- tput has --standard-input option.
- Works with POSIX.1 termios systems as well as BSD sgtty.
- Configuration updated to current standards.
