The Free Software Foundation's "units" unit conversion and calculation utility.
GNU units converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents
in other scales. Units can only handle multiplicative scale changes. For
example, it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit but it can convert
temperature differences between those temperature scales.
The units are defined externally in an extensive, well annotated data file
that defines over 2000 units. You can also provide your own data file.
Note that this port will install the utility with a 'g' prefix,
e.g. gunits, but the texinfo documentation will refer to it without
the 'g' prefix.
Delay is a program that counts down the number of seconds specified
on its command line.
In this way, it's sort of like the standard sleep(1) command, except
for the fact that it provides feedback of the time remaining.
Here some usage example:
delay 1d 2:03:04.5
delay 1d 2h 3m 4.5s
delay 93785.5
delay until 4 pm -- cdplay
delay until noon tomorrow
delay until midnight 4 october 2003
delay until now +5 minutes
delay 15s -- top
It allows for short, long, and customized messages for the display of
the time remaining.
- example of output : delay -v until 4 pm tomorrow
Time Remaining: 1 days, 07:51:39.
CLEX (pronounced KLEKS) is a file manager with full-screen user interface.
It displays directory contents, including file status details, and provides
features like command history, filename insertion, or name completion, in
order to help users to create commands to be executed by the shell.
CLEX is versatile tool for system administrators and all users that utilize
the enormous power of the command line. Its unique one-panel user interface
enhances productivity and lessens the probability of mistake. There are no
built-in commands; CLEX is an add-on to your favorite shell.

nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze
your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is
the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 15,
which contains 6,220 foods and 117 nutrients. This database
contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories,
protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential
polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are
expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar
standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be
fully customized. Recipes can be added, and graphs drawn. The
program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to
learn.
Mtx(1) is a set of low level driver programs to control features of SCSI
backup related devices such as autoloaders, tape changers, mediajukeboxes,
and tape drives. It can also report much data, including serial numbers,
maximum block sizes, and TapeAlert(tm) messages that most modern tape
drives implement, as well as do raw SCSI READ and WRITE commands to
tape drives.
It works like chio(1) but supports more features and drives and runs in
users land. There are some amanda (misc/amanda24-server) scripts, which
depend on mtx.

The TOIlet project attempts to create a free replacement for the FIGlet
utility. TOIlet stands for "The Other Implementation's letters", coined
after FIGlet's "Frank, Ian and Glen's letters".
TOIlet is in its very early development phase. It uses the powerful
libcaca library to achieve various text-based effects. TOIlet
implements or plans to implement the following features:
* The ability to load FIGlet fonts
* Support for Unicode input and output
* Support for colour fonts
* Support for colour output
* Support for various output formats: HTML, IRC, ANSI...
TOIlet also aims for full FIGlet compatibility. It is currently able to
load FIGlet fonts and perform horizontal smushing.
