> SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: MIT Scheme
> VERSION:  7.2
> DESCRIPTION: Scheme (a dialect of Lisp) Interpreter/Compiler
> YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Andrew H. Marrinson/andy@terasil.terasil.com
> AVAILABILITY: Anonymous ftp from altdorf.ai.mit.edu (18.43.0.246)
> STATE OF PORT/CODE: One minor bug remains; dump-world not yet tested.
> REQUIRES: Two sets of patches, one to fix bugs in Beta BSDI, and one
> 	  for Scheme itself both available on BSDI.COM (192.48.96.23).
> NOTES: Scheme is my favorite language, and this is an excellent
>        implementation.  It is one of the few implementations to
>        include a compiler.  Also included are a complete GNU Emacs
>        compatible editor written in Scheme, support for X graphics,
>        and many other features.  I have written an extensive README
>        that includes a list of the files on altdorf.ai.mit.edu that
>        are needed/desirable, detailed installation instructions
>        specifically for BSDI, a quick guide to running Scheme, and
>        lots of other things I learned as I got this system working.
>        This README is available on BSDI.COM together with my patches.

> AVAILABILITY: alt.sources recently.  Check alt.security.pgp for ftp details.

> NOTES:  This was an easy port.  I think it was mostly  a 'make'.  However, if
> 	you decide to port it you should make sure you read the two document
> 	files which come with it to fully understand the legal status of 
> 	doing so.  This is another in the series of US export Laws and patent
> 	spider webs.
> -------
> SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:  RIPEM 1.3 (RSAREF)
> VERSION:   1.03
> DESCRIPTION:  Public key encryption system based on RSA and DES.
> YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: tom@usblues.rt.com
> AVAILABILITY: A bit complicated to get.  It falls under US Export regulation
> 	      since its crypto code.  Further, It also contains proprietary 
> 	      code from RSA, Inc. which has licensed it free for 
> 	      "personal" use within the US and Canada.  So, you can:
> 			1. try rsa.com
> 			2. try alt.security.ripem
> 
> STATE OF PORT/CODE: completed
> REQUIRES:
> NOTES:  Required some makefile hacking. Pretty neat though.  And legal to use
> 	within the US.  There is a version available for ftp which does not
> 	contain crypto code and therefore does not fall under the US export
> 	restrictions.  But trying to get this to work may be the equivilant
> 	of trying to get 'ls' working without any system calls.
> -------
> SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Seyon
> VERSION: 1.7
> DESCRIPTION: X based communications program
> YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: tom@usblues.rt.com
> AVAILABILITY: export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib
> STATE OF PORT/CODE: completed
> REQUIRES: X11
> NOTES:  If you are running X and use modems, use this program. It is much
> 	faster and smoother than "xc".  It doesn't have as many bugs as xc.
> 	It does a better job on zmodem xfers than xc.  It wouldn't work as
> 	setuid uucp, so I had to make it setuid root.  Just changing spool
> 	locations and other stuff makes it build and work just fine.
