Dairynet Manual

1.4 Applications List

This is a list of the major applications we have added to ICE. It is not guaranteed to be complete and up to date, but we do try to make it so. You'll find some more useful than others. It does not include the hundreds of apps and utilities which are provided as standard on most Unix systems, including games and administrative programs.

Under the Help column, if man is indicated, it means that the manual is available online. At ice's command-prompt, type man filename to view it. For example, to view emacs' manual, type man emacs. These are also linked to our man-server so that you may view the man pages via your web browser, and print out directly from your computer. We'd always recommend printing out (and reading!) the man pages for any program you think you may seriously use.

If there are no man pages or text help files available on our system, we have provided a link to another web site which provides documentation or help. In some cases, we could find no suitable web site, and have no documentation available on ice. Experimentation is your best bet :)

NB: All of the links under the Help column are external, but to reduce the download time of this page we haven't bothered including the on every one.
