C++2LaTeX is a program that beautifully converts any C/C++ source code to
LaTeX, very useful when you want to save a nice printed copy of some of
your files.
Parim is the most powerful powerful number theory calculations program I
know of. It does continues fractions, solves Pell/Dyaphon equetions and
much more.
Debian used to be the only distro (I know of) that had Parim, but the
maintainer stopped maintaining it.
I think that if I have time (won't be in the near future), and nobody
else will become the maintainer of those packages I'll do it myself.
The developer of Parim stopped working on it more then a year ago (If I'm
not mistaken), so this might be the reason it is not in Debian.
If you're more interested in those programs, I can send you the URLs of
the source code.
Liran.
