Public Domain Unix Software



- Hacketris:
   Run around a dungeon, kill monsters, and catch falling shapes.
   [Distributed by UseNyet]


- HeX:
   Typesetter; AuToMaTiCaLlY cApItAlIzEs EvErY oThEr LeTtEr.
   Requires 7Gb of disk space; more if you want a second font. Must be
   pronounced "hechhh" (to rhyme with "blechhh"), or else the author will
   make you read _The_HeXbook_.
   [Also available: MetalFONT, for designing baroque logos for
   heavy-metal bands]


- Feather:
   Compresses tape archives. Thus, files can be tarred and feathered.
   [Standard UnixTM utility]


- nsh:
   NutSHell, the smallest UnixTM shell yet. Version 1.0 (the only
   one released so far) includes only 'cd' and 'echo <string constant>'.
   GNU-nsh, to be released later this year, is expected to be much more
   powerful, with built-in Bourne, Korn and C shell emulators. The executable
   is expected to go from 306 bytes to 7Mb with this release, however.


- Lightspeed Lisp:
   Unfortunately, this package will not be released, since the name
   was deemed to be oxymoronic.


- X-rated Windows:
   X-rated windowing package. Includes obscenely-shaped windows,
   salacious prompts, erotic background patterns, and mouse cursors shaped
   like genitalia. Perfect for the window user with a twelve-year-old's mind.
   Warning: susceptible to viruses.
