+id: avl_blurb
+package: avl
+blurb: libavl provides a large collection of binary search tree and balanced
++ tree routines for C.  These trees offer at least O(log n) performance
++ for usually costly operations such as searching, inserting or
++ deleting items from a data structure.
+
+id: ballandpaddle_blurb
+package: ballandpaddle
+blurb: Ball and Paddle is a classic arcade game in which you use a paddle at
++ the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball against bricks in the upper
++ region, eliminating the bricks as they are hit.  As a novel twist,
++ events and attributes of all the objects (bricks, ball, etc.) may be
++ scripted with GNU Guile.
+
+id: barcode_blurb
+package: barcode
+blurb: GNU Barcode is a flexible tool to produce printed barcodes from text
++ strings.  It supports a variety of encoding standards and sizing
++ measurements.  Barcodes can be output in PostScript or Encapsulated
++ PostScript formats.
+
+id: bash_blurb
+package: bash
+blurb: Bash is the shell, or command-line interpreter, of the GNU system.  It
++ is compatible with the Bourne Shell, but it also integrates useful
++ features from the Korn Shell and the C Shell and new improvements of
++ its own.  It allows command-line editing, unlimited command history,
++ shell functions and aliases, and job control while still allowing
++ most sh scripts to be run without modification.
+
+id: bayonne_blurb
+package: bayonne
+blurb: Bayonne is the telephony server of the GNU Telephony project.  It
++ offers a scalable environment for the development and deployment of
++ telephony solutions, with a focus on SIP.
+
+id: bc_blurb
+package: bc
+blurb: bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language.  It
++ includes an interactive environment for evaluating mathematical
++ statements.  Its syntax is similar to that of C, so basic usage is
++ familiar.  It also includes "dc", a reverse-polish calculator.
+
+id: bfd_blurb
+package: bfd
+blurb: redirect binutils
+
+id: binutils_blurb
+package: binutils
+blurb: GNU Binutils is a collection of tools for working with binary files.
++ Perhaps the most notable are "ld", a linker, and "as", an assembler.
++ Other tools include programs to display binary profiling
++ information, list the strings in a binary file,
++ and utilities for working with archives.  The "bfd" library for
++ working with executable and object formats is also included.
+
+id: bison_blurb
+package: bison
+blurb: GNU Bison is a general-purpose parser generator.  It can build a
++ deterministic or generalized LR parser from an annotated,
++ context-free grammar.  It is versatile enough to have many
++ applications, from parsers for simple tools through complex
++ programming languages.
+
+id: bool_blurb
+package: bool
+blurb: GNU Bool is a utility to perform text searches on files using Boolean
++ expressions.  For example, a search for "hello AND world" would
++ return a file containing the phrase "Hello, world!".  It supports
++ both AND and OR statements, as well as the NEAR statement to search
++ for the occurrence of words in close proximity to each other.  It
++ handles context gracefully, accounting for new lines and paragraph
++ changes.  It also has robust support for parsing HTML files.
+
+id: bpel2owfn_blurb
+package: bpel2owfn
+blurb: GNU BPEL2oWFN translates a web service expressed in Web Service Business
++ Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) into an open Workflow Net
++ (oWFN).  It may additionally convert a BPEL4Chor choreography to a
++ Petri Net model.  Properties of Petri Nets may be analyzed
++ efficiently, due to the use of static analysis to make the models
++ compact.  Control and data flow analysis, as well as basic checks for
++ deadlocks and other such properties are available.
+
+id: bazaar_blurb
+package: bazaar
+blurb: GNU Bazaar is a version control system that allows
++ you to record changes
++ to project files over time.
++ It supports both a distributed workflow
++ as well as the classic centralized workflow.
+
+id: c_graph_blurb
+package: c-graph
+blurb: GNU C-Graph is a tool for demonstrating the theory of convolution.  
Thus,
++ it can serve as an excellent aid to students of signal and systems
++ theory in visualizing the convolution process.  Rather than forcing
++ the student to write code, the program offers an intuitive interface
++ with interactive dialogs to guide them.
+
+id: ccaudio_blurb
+package: ccaudio
+blurb: GNU ccAudio2 is a portable C++ class for working with audio data from
++ disk.  The classes are both endian and content aware; rather than
++ treating audio as binary data, this library treats it as an sequence
++ of samples.  It can also handle metadata information.  ccAudio2
++ supports sun audio, raw samples, and RIFF encoded audio data.
+
+id: ccd2cue_blurb
+package: ccd2cue
+blurb: GNU ccd2cue is a preprocessor for CD burning software that allows
++ the conversion of the proprietary CCD format to the CUE format, which
++ is well-supported by free software.  These files are commonly
++ distributed with CD images and are used to describe how tracks are
++ laid out on the image.
+
+id: ccide_blurb
+package: ccide
+blurb: GNU Ccide is a decision table code generator for the C language.  This
++ helps to avoid unmanageable and error-prone chains of nested if-else
++ statements.  Instead, decision tables are entered in an intuitive and
++ easy-to-read format, which is then expanded into portable C code.
+
+id: ccrtp_blurb
+package: ccrtp
+blurb: GNU ccRTP is an implementation of RTP, the real-time transport protocol
++ from the IETF.  It is suitable both for high capacity servers and
++ personal client applications.  It is flexible in its design, allowing
++ it to function as a framework for the framework, rather than just
++ being a packet-manipulation library.
+
+id: ccscript_blurb
+package: ccscript
+blurb: GNU ccScript3 is a library to add a virtual machine execution system for
++ use with/as a scripting or assembler language for real-time,
++ state-transition driven systems.
+
+id: cfengine_blurb
+package: cfengine
+blurb: Cfengine, or the configuration engine, is an agent/software robot to

++ automating the configuration and maintenance of the system state.
+
+id: cflow_blurb
+package: cflow
