Software

From Peyton Hall Documentation

The computer sitting in front of you wouldn't be of much use if not for software. In this documentation system, we've tried to keep software somewhat separate from other things such as Unix commands which, while they are software also, they are usually specific to one platform. Here you'll find some information on software packages available in Peyton, and links to their respective pages.
