Software Map

GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content: text, mathematics, graphics, interactive content. TeXmacs can also be used as an interface to many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, and statistics. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using Scheme.

GNU Zile (Zile Is Lossy Emacs) is a lightweight Emacs clone. Every Emacs user should feel at home with Zile. Zile is aimed at small footprint systems (a typical binary is about 100Kb) and quick editing sessions (it starts up and shuts down instantly).

AUCTeX is a much-enhanced (La)TeX environment for Emacs and part of the GNU project.

XKeymacs provides key bindings like Emacs for applications running on Microsoft Windows. You can also configure bindings for each application.

crypt++.el is a package of Lisp functions that recognize automatically encrypted and encoded (i.e., compressed) files when they are first visited or written. The BUFFER corresponding to the file is decoded and/or decrypted before it is presented to the user. The file itself is unchanged on the disk. When the buffer is subsequently saved to disk, a hook function re-encodes the buffer before the actual disk write takes place.

The purpose of the preview-latex package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into Emacs source buffers. As of version 11.80, it has been integrated into AUCTeX and will no longer be separately released.

International Ispell is an interactive spell-checking program for Unix, which supports a large number of European languages (only English dictionaries are included in the source tarball). An emacs interface is available, as well as the standard command-line mode.

MIT/GNU Scheme is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, providing an interpreter, compiler, source-code debugger, integrated Emacs-like editor, and a large runtime library. MIT/GNU Scheme is best suited to programming large applications with a rapid development cycle. Recent versions of the system are supported on the following platforms: GNU/Linux, *BSD, OS/2, and Windows.
