Terminal apps

This is the page listing all the unix programs I've ported to the mac under osx.
< Most of the programs come with source, and have a mac specific readme file (readme.osx) where appropriate, explaining the differences in the source required to compile under osx, and any general information that may be required to use the program itself.

This is a program for bookport and bookcorrier users. It's called UBT, and is compatible with both ppc and intel macs. The main page for the ubt tool is: http://www.nfbcal.org/~buhrow/ubt/. The source is located on that page, and there is an OSX universal binary located here. (ubt.zip). If the previous link doesn't work for some reason, you can download the 0.93 version from this server.
ubt-0.93.tar.gz

Below are programs compiled for osx that work in terminal mode. (basically, the unix portion of osx)
These programs should be useful, but are of course not guaranteed.

muddle

This is a copy of a mud client I used under linux. I liked it, so compiled it for the mac.
This is a universal binary, so it should work on intel or ppc macs.
Download muddle here.

sc

This is a spreadsheet program that runs in terminal mode, and was shamelessly swiped from a slackware distribution.
Changes have been made to make it compile under osx, but none of the functionality of the 7.16 version of sc has been modified.
At the moment, the archive includes the program, man pages, and a tutorial about how to use sc.
The source is not (yet) included, because I've not marked the OSX necessary changes in it, when that's done, it'll be included too.
Run sc with the command: sc tutorial.sc to find out about how it works if you've not used it before.

download sc 7.16 from here.

bwbasic

This copy of Biwater Basic was modified to compile on OSX, and the sources are included along with the compiled binary for those who need it, along with full documentation.
OSX specific information is in a file called readme.OSX, and it can be donloaded here.
Biwater Basic 2.10

UnARJ

This is a utility to allow unarchiving of arj files on OSX. It's taken from the unarj265 and was compiled on a leopard system. This is a universal binary, so will work on either intel or ppc macs.
unarj 2.65

LHA

This is an OSX version of lha archiver/dearchiver. It's syntax is similar to arj, and will work on lha, and lzh files. This is a universal binary, so it will work on both ppc and inel-based macs. Download lha-114.zip and copy the lha program to your /usr/bin folder.

Rar

Rar is another archiver available on other platforms, and this is a version compiled for mac osx. It's a universal binary, and should be copied to the /usr/local/bin directory. This is a command-line program, and runs from the terminal. rar.zip

Sirc irc client

Sirc is an irc client for osx. It works in the terminal, and will need to be installed by running the install script before you try to use the sirc program.
Don't worry if you don't have the developer tools installed, it will still work anyway, since I've included a copy of the ssfe program compiled as an osx universal binary.
See the readme.osx file for details on installation. after running the install script, then just type sirc at the shell prompt, and it will start up for you.
Hope folks find this irc client useful.

Abermud

abermud is a mud-type program you can run on your local machine, to see if mudding really is for you. It's relatively simple, but it's still a decent game, so if you've considered a mud, or don't know what one is, or just want to play a fun game, download this one, and have at it.
