I have 2 utilities that are not in FreeBSD. - The first if factor(1) ala SVR4. It prints the prime factors of a number. I sometimes use it to find the "most efficient" geometry for a HD. It is written for 'long's, but I want to have it pick 'int'/'long'/'long long' (all unsigned) based on the input for speed (it uses adds, not multiplies). - The second (non Unix) is wid(1). It finds the "width" of a file (longest line). It can print longest, shortest, average (mean), totals and can ignore trailing spaces. Suggestions for any other features is welcomed. Any comments...? Max P.S. Both of these are from _my_ shareware package "udos" and I am willing to give the full rights to FreeBSD. P.P.S. After the "fiasco" with my changes to more(1) (finding out about 'stty rows XX cols XX'), I figure I should try some more simple things until I'm more used to FreeBSD 8-). ----- Max Euston <meuston@jmrodgers.com> Sysadm, Programmer, etc...
