The GNU Project has spent the past 15 years developing a Unix-like operating system whose name is GNU. Over the years, various GNU programs have been ported to MS-DOS and MS-Windows. Now we have published a collection of these ports, and some other free software, with convenient installation facilities, on a CD-ROM that comes in a book.
This book includes a CD which contains a collection of executables and source code for popular GNU programs that run on a Microsoft Windows machine. The accompanying book contains a detailed installation guide. This second edition is updated for Windows ME and NT, as well as being backwards-compatible for Windows 2000, 98, 95 and 3.X. It can also be used on MS-DOS Versions 4 and up.
Programs include: the DOS and Windows versions of our popular GNU C and C++ Compiler, DJGPP and Cygwin; a full-sized Emacs, our popular editor; Gimp, a complete graphic design program; the Perl programming language; the multi-lingual GNU Debugger, GDB; GNU Make, our popular automated update compiler utility; Gzip, a file-compression program; and Bash, a versatile shell.
Other programs included are: GNU Binary utilities including the GNU assembler and linker, Bison, cpio, diff, Flex, GNU Awk, Fileutils, Findutils, Ghostscript, grep, groff, IDutils, ispell, less, TeX, Texinfo, the GNU Text Utilities, RCS, sed, and the GNU Shell Utilities. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS (Dan Hagerty, Melissa Weisshaus, Eli Zaretskii, Daniel Hagerty, M. Weisshaus, E. Zaretskii, D. Hagert)
