help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from program output. It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to include a manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that document. Given a program which produces resonably standard --help and --version outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something which resembles a manual page.

HEYU is a text-based console program for remotely controlling lights and appliances in the home or office. It is made available under a free and open source license. Heyu uses the CM11A computer interface to send and receive X10 control signals over the AC power lines to modules which can turn On, Off, or Dim attached lamps or appliances. It can store a schedule of timed events in the CM11A memory for execution when the computer is turned off or disconnected. Heyu now supports an optional W800RF32A or MR26A RF receiver connected to a second port as an auxiliary input device for X10 RF signals. Heyu can also use an optional CM17A interface to transmit X10 RF signals.

The Ini file manager consists of a package, Config, which can read or write informations from various configuration files known as "ini" files because they have often the ".ini" extension. They are text files which look like the following: ; Comment line [Section 1] a_string = abcd # a comment here... a_number = +123.456 ; another comment [Section 2] a_string = efgh For more examples in this format, just search files with the .ini extension on a Windows-based computer.

The inplace(1) command is a utility to edit files in-place through given filter commands preserving the original file attributes. Mode and ownership (user and group) are preserved by default, and time (access and modification) by choice. Examples: # Sort files in-place using sort(1): inplace sort file1 file2 file3 # Process image files preserving time and taking backup files: inplace -t -b.orig 'convert -rotate 270 -resize 50%% %1 %2' *.jpg

IPBT (It's Play-Back Time) is a ttyrec player with many features that ttyplay lacks. Notable features are: * Pausing * Move forward/backward frame by frame * Adjustable play speed (faster/slower) * Jump to beginning/end in a single keystroke * Searching forward/backward for a given string * ttygrep and ttydump utilities IPBT works by reading the entire input file and running it through an internal terminal emulator (the one from PuTTY).

iSelect is an interactive line selection tool for ASCII files, operating via a full-screen Curses-based terminal session.

kcd allows user to change directory by using various methods: - By using cursor keys to navigate through the directory tree screen - By searching in directory tree screen - By typing part of the directory name directly at the command line. Other features include: - Can be configured to filter out to some subdirectories, useful for cdrom and msdos partition mounting points - Can be configured to scan directory tree starting from some specified directory inwards, for example, home directory. - If the number directories that matches to the name given in the command line exceeds a specified number, kcd displays the whole list. - Faster directory rescan if old data file exists. Only directories with newer modified/changed time are scanned. - Sorted directory tree listing.
