Package: Improved Unix User Interface
System name: newunixui
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Improving the user interface to the unix command line. This project
will encompass several smaller projects all with the same goal of
improving the user interface of the unix command line. 
Each smaller project will represent one program towards the goal.

Currently, there are three programs in this project. Below is a
brief description of these.

cal - a multi-lingual replacement user interface for /usr/bin/cal.
cal\'s main task is to reordering the command line arguments and add
highlighting to the current output. cal is currently implemented in three 
different languages. More will be added.

less - a replacement for the less pager. less is more user friendly by 
anticipating what the user wants by elimating annoying and userless error 
messages. less now works on directories as well as files.

newtar - a replacement for all archive mangement tools. This utility is 
designed to elimate feature creep from the basic archive utilites of 
gzip,tar,bzip2,zip,etc by presenting a unified interface to all of them.
