There is no single definitive listing of software available
on the OIT Unix systems. You would be better off defining your search
better; what sort of software are you looking for? Are you
looking for document processing, spreadsheets, communications
packages, Internet services ... that's the place to start.

One way to approach it is to use the online man
command (for manual). All of the basic Unix command manual
pages are online, as are many of the locally-installed
packages. You can use:
man <COMMAND>
to get information if you know the name of the command, or
use a keyword search:
man -k <KEYWORD>
where <KEYWORD> is something
related to the command (like folder for all the
commands that deal with MH folders). A different way to do
the same kind of search is to use the apropos
command:
apropos <KEYWORD>
-
If you are on WAM or Glue, another way to see what software is potentially available is
to use the tap command. If you just type:
tap
you'll get a list of what software is affected by the
tap command. This command customized your environment
to use a particular software package; it adds directories to
your current path, sets environment variables, etc. To be
able to use a particular package, you tap it:
tap mathematica
You'll receive information on recent changes, updates and any
mailing lists, if any exist.
