Unix Software Archive

This page contains an archive of software for Unix and Linux -- including:

• older versions of certain software (such as browsers) which are hard to find.

• Open source code that I have written

This page is maintained by Charles Roth, who can be reached at roth@thedance.net.  It was last revised on 12 April 2002.

(See also my Windows 95 & NT and Macintosh archives.)

Open Source Code

cpuload.c -- rough tool for measuring Linux cpu load averages.

Browsers

Netscape 3.04 for Linux
Netscape 2.02 for Linux

SSH version 1

Source for the Secure Shell, version 1.2.13, in ssh-1.2.13.tar.gz.  SSH is a replacement for telnet that encrypts the entire "conversation" with the remote host.

VNC: remote console access

VNC is a very exciting tool that allows cross-platform access to a server's "console".  Download the linux 2.0 version from vnc332r3.t.gz.

For more information, including servers and viewers for other platforms, see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc.

Turn off Caps Lock

You can turn off the *&%$! useless Caps Lock key under X by creating a file .xmodmaprc that contains the line:

remove Lock = Caps_Lock

and running "xmodmap .xmodmaprc" manually or in your .profile or equivalent file.

StarOffice 5.1a

StarOffice is a free, full-featured office suite for multiple platforms.  Please see www.sun.com/staroffice to register your own copy.  This is my personal archive of version 5.1a.

ImageMagick

An extremely useful set of tools for manipulating images from the command line, including a massive variety of image conversion tools.  Download ImageMagick-5.4.6.tar.gz locally, or see the master at www.imagemagick.org.

gcc

gcc compiler, binary kits, from www.sunfreeware.com.  Solaris 2.8 kit locally: gcc-2.95.3-sol8-sparc-local.gz.
