[comp.sys.apple2] More shellstuff

bazyar@ernie (Jawaid Bazyar) (03/14/91)

To keep ya all up to date, I just added three files to "ShellStuff".
tr - the Berkeley 4.3bsd reno distribution translate chars program
grep - great utility for searching through text files for regular
       expressions
dhrystone - a program to compare your compiler/computer to others.
     an unaccelerated GS pulls 270, a 33MHz '386 gets 10000.

Also, I'd like to announce new routines in the library. In addition to
"stat" which I did the other day, I added GNU getopt and a compatibility
library for the Unix b* routines (bcopy, bzero, etc).

I've a question- ShellStuff is getting big. Really big.  I'm going to start
distributing source and executables separately, so that people with orca/c
don't have to get the executables- they'll have the fun of seeing Orca work
correctly for a change.

But in general, how should I start splitting this thing up? Any suggestions?

Ouch.  A factor of almost 40 times?

Hmmm.  Maybe it IS time to get a NeXT.  Ooops, didn't say that... :)

What compiler on the '386 did you use?
