gzip	gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement for 'compress'.
java	JavaTM is a portable, extensible, extremely cross-platform computer programming language/platform.
latex	LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting based on TeX. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
less	Less is a program similar to more, i.e. a terminal based program for viewing text files and the output from other programs. Less offers many features beyond those that more does.
mpage	Mpage is a tool used to print multiple pages per sheet on a PostScript printer. It has the ability to print out text or PostScript documents.
