Software

Cget, cut, stage, and unstage have been approved for non-commercial release. http://www.bell-labs.com/topic/swdist/ has details.

Here's some of my favorite software. It was written here at the Labs.

My favorite editor for programming is sam. Rob Pike's minimalist design makes much saner use of the mouse than I've seen anywhere else. Sam has been released: Sean Quinlan did an excellent job on the Windows 95 version. There is also an X version available.

9term is an X version of a Plan 9 window by Bob Flandrena. It is easy to learn, and much better than stuff like xterm.

Here is a clever replacement for getopt. Less is more. Here is a sample.

Finally, here is the longest BASIC program I ever wrote. It was written one week in June, 1974. Some modifications were made by Rich Conway. Note: it is Y2K compliant.
