intent to package OPT, xyplot, gnudl



Hello all,

Since I don't see them in the distribution, and I didn't find them on
the wnpp list, I intend to package the following programs:

opt
is a subroutine library which facilitates the convenient input of
parameters to a Cprogram. Parameters are parsed from a command line,
with further facilities for reading options from files, from environment
strings, or from an interactive environment. The aim of the opt package
is to permit programs to be both user- and programmer- friendly. The
package attempts to on the one hand provide a direct and relatively
full-featured input interface to the ultimate user of the program, and
at the same time impose a minimal amount of work on the programmer to
"attach" the package to his or her software. Source code for the latest
release is available in opt-3.7.tar.gz, released 26 Jul 1998. A texinfo
file is part of the distribution; or you can view the html documentation,
or download a postscript file.

xyplot
is a simple graphing and plotting package. It features automatic scaling,
logarithmic axes, error bars, labels with Greek letters, superscripts,
subscripts, special characters, and multiple graphs on one page. These
options can be specified in the file to be plotted (ie, as markup), or on
the command line. It comes with postscript documentation, and a less
complete troff man page.

gnudl
gnudl (GNU Data Language) is a high-level language and environent designed
to allow flexible and powerful manipulation and plotting of data. A primary
goal is to eventually provide a vast library of numerical, signal
processing, imaging processing, etc. routines that can be interactively
used within the system.


gnudl requires opt, xyplot, and the following (which are already packaged):
guile, ghostscript, and gsl.
