Netcom Users Group List of Programs and Scripts (NUGLOPS)

This is an ongoing project to make available to all Netcom users the latest
and greatest programs and scripts that various Netcom users have written
and/or compiled. Thanks to the generosity of Netcom, space has been made
available on Netcom's system to organize these programs and scripts into a
central list and a directory of links. Many generous Netcom users have
pooled their resources by compiling the latest versions of popular programs,
writing their own scripts, and making them publicly available--all out of
the goodness of their hearts.

Please read the DISCLAIMER in /usr/local/nuglops/DISCLAIMER before using
any NUGLOPS programs or scripts.

internal list of Aminet mirror sites, etc. This version is not
compatible with 1.x versions, and will overwrite an existing .adtrc
file with the new format. Source available at ~vjl/src/adt.c

GNU's Bourne Again SHell
Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that

Bash is ultimately intended to be a conformant implementation
of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools specification (IEEE
Working Group 1003.2).
.
NOTE: This version has some changes which can affect bash
scripts and user-defined functions (such as in your
~/.bashrc file). Some syntax has changed from the
v1.14.5 release.

batchftp jhurwit v.1.02

bzip jeffml 0.21
Bzip compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler-Fenwick

conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and competitive
with all but the best of the PPM family of statistical
compressors.
(When called as bunzip, de-compression is default)
(additional documentation in ~jeffml/pub/doc/bzip-0.21)
(keywords: compress archiver archivers bzip bunzip)

categize schip

shifted by one column, (2) strings and integers compare
equal, but (3) floating point numbers differ slightly,

tf davidg v3.3 beta 16
A client program to make life MUD'ing easier. Has builtin macros and
lets you create custom macros and aliases of your own. The macros
which are available for loading (via /load) are located in the
/usr/local/nuglops/lib/tf.lib directory (no, you don't type that full
path in from within the program when you /load :). Originally
designed with TinyMUSH style MUDs in mind; however, the program has
evolved to work with LP/Diku/Aber style MUDs as well.

III GNU Programs located in /usr/local/nuglops/gnu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
date carlr v.1.9.2
many more options than Netcom's /usr/bin/date

df wje
Display free disk space, even for filesystems > 2GB. Use
this instead of ndf, because it's GNU software and is
therefore likely to be viable longer.
(keywords: df free disk space)

du,install,ln,ls,mkdir,mkfifo
mknod,mv,rm,rmdir,touch,vdir

grep davidg v2.2 grep,egrep,fgrep
GNU grep - "The fastest GREP in the west" (they hope :).
GNU replacements for the grep/egrep/fgrep commands.
Docs: nman grep
egrep
fgrep
(keywords: grep egrep fgrep GNU)

gtr carlr
translate characters; copies the standard input to the standard
output, performing one of many operations; doesn't strip nulls
from input, can output nulls, and accepts character classes

gzexe mnementh
Modification of the GNU gzexe utility to compress binary executables
to accomodate the fact there there's just *so*many* people using
NUGLOPS and other shared software, and people kept bumping into each
other's /tmp copy before the previous incarnation was removed. This
version fixes that problem.

ndf wje
"historical" fix to the Netcom "standard" df: handles
filesystems 2GB and larger. Rescued by gburnore when BSW
abruptly left town. Use the nuglops df instead of ndf,
since it bears the GNU stamp and is therefore likely to be
a more stable long-term solution. (It sees >2GB drives
also.)
(keywords: df disk free space)

sed davidg v3.02
GNU version of the stream editor, sed.
GNU replacements for the sed command.
