ascii.exe dumps the 256 ascii characters to stdout using a nice format (GPL) dump.exe [file] hex dump of file to stdout, using a nice format (GPL) putclip.exe copies stdin to the Windows clipboard does NOT use Cygwin's /dev/clipboard Not build unless on a WIN32 platform (GPL) getclip.exe copies the Windows clipboard to stdout does NOT use Cygwin's /dev/clipboard Not build unless on a WIN32 platform (GPL) conv.exe / d2u.exe / u2d.exe / dos2unix.exe / unix2dos.exe programs for converting line endings of text files between DOS and UNIX format. (GPL) HEAVILY modified, but core routine is based on the hd2d-0.5.12 distribution, available here: http://www.megaloman.com/~hany/_data/hd2u/ by Peter Hanecak. msgtool.exe / shmtool.exe / semtool.exe / semstat.exe These programs were taken from "Linux Programmer's Guide - Chapter 6" with a few changes so that they build cleanly. The original versions were written by (C)opyright 1994-1995, Scott Burkett. ** MODULE: msgtool A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style Message Queues ** MODULE: semtool A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style Semaphore Sets ** MODULE: semstat Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets ** MODULE: shmtool A command line tool for tinkering with shared memory For information on how to use these tools, call them with the '-?' option. Also, see the Linux Programmer's Guide -- the IPC chapter is included with the cygipc distribution. These tools can only be built if cygipc is installed and thus are not portable to non-cygwin platforms. Also, they can only operate properly if ipc-daemon is running. Eventually I'll figure out how to get autotools to NOT try to build them if IPC services are not available, and I'll figure out how to link/test for libcygipc.a on cygwin and just -lc on linux, etc. (GPL) banner.exe prints a large banner to stdout.

(GPL) namei.exe follow a pathname until a terminal point is found (GPL - originally public domain) cal.exe displays a calendar (BSD-no-advert *) last.exe show a listing of the last logged in users (GPL) utmpdump.exe give raw output of a utmp (/var/run/utmp) or wtmp (/var/log/wtmp) file.

(GPL) ddate.exe converts boring normal dates to fun Discordian Date (GPL - originally public domain) (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally part of the UCB BSD distro. : Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22 1999. He states that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."
