#============================================================================= # List of shell applications for GNO/ME and ORCA/Shell # Last revision: Fri Apr 24 17:16:58 1998 # # $Id: describe.src,v 1.8 1998/04/24 17:20:46 gdr-ftp Exp $ #============================================================================= # # About this file # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # This file is in human readable form, but is intended to be compiled with # the program 'descc' into the 'describe' database. Just type 'descc # ', where is the name you saved this file to, and # descc will compile the file into the file /usr/lib/describe.db, or # alternatively into a file named 'describe' in the path given by the # environment variable DESCDB. Make sure the path that DESCDB points to # or /usr/lib exist first! Information may be later culled from the # file with the command 'describe '. # # While this file may be updated manually, it is recommended that new # entries and updates be merged through the use of 'descu'. This will # ensure that the file remains sorted. Failure to do so may result in # describe(1) not finding some entries. # # This file is sorted lexicographically, ignoring case, based on the # "Name" field. # # Online home of describe # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # The newest version of this file may be found at: # # ftp://ftp.gno.org/pub/apple2/gs.specific/gno/doc/desc.src.shk # # The describe web page may be found at: # # http://www.gno.org/~gno/describe # # This page has: # - links to the current version of describe, descu, and descc # - links to the current version of this database, in both source # form (this file), and the precompiled database # - indexed online describe entries # - instructions on how to submit new and updated entries. # # Updates and corrections may also be sent by email to: # # describe-submit@trenco.gno.org # # This address points to a filter. If you use it, you *must* ensure the # following: # # - the subject line contains the word "describe"; # - you include only describe entries, in the format used in this # file; # - if you have a signature attached to your email, it must be # preceeded by the standard "--" on a line by itself; # - only ASCII mail is accepted. Don't try sending encoded mail, # by MIME or other means; # - all field names should be at the immediate start of a line; # - the "Name" field must be a single word; # - the "Where" field must be specified; # - the description must be non-empty; # # If your submission was successful, you will receive an email response # (assuming your email address is real). # # To obtain the version number of a program: # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # A) use the shell program `getvers', # B) any usage or -v/V flag supplied by the utility author # # # NOTES: # 1. The "Author" field may indicate who is maintaing the current # port, and may not actually mean the original author of the # program. # 2. There may be more than one port of a given program. Often the # older or obsolete ports are not listed. #============================================================================== Name: alarm Version: 1.0 (Feb 94) Shell: GNO Author: Christopher Neufeld Contact: neufeld@physics.utoronto.ca Where: /usr/local/games FTP: ftp.gno.org, ground.isca.uiowa.edu This is a reminder program, typically executed in the background.
