source.

The journey through the Slackware **ap** software set continues. The **amp**

mp3-to-wav converter, **ash** shell, and the **at**, **atq**, **atrm**,

**batch** commands.

Thoughts about licensing. Coffee. Then thoughts about Java.

**alsa-utils** from the **ap** software series of Slackware. Lots of interesting utilities in this package, including one that enables you to send MIDI signals across your network so you can (for example) connect a USB controller to office office computer and generate sounds on the computer in your studio.

The ending of the **a2ps** package, including **psdiff**, **psbook**,

**psmandup**, **psresize**, **psselect**, and **texi2dvi4a2ps**. The greatest

mystery is the **showchar** command, which appears to do nothing.

Upon further investigation (after recording), it seems that **a2ps** as

distributed by Slackware also contains a collection of scripts called

**psutils**, which provides **fix***, **ps***, **eps***, ***res**, and

**showchar** scripts.

The psutils collection is not yet in Slackware-current, so it is possible that

it has been dropped from distribution. In the latest psutils sources,

**showchar** appears to have been removed.
