This is a set of build scripts and patches to make WordPerfect for UNIX work on modern Linux.
WordPerfect is a powerful word processor for the terminal. There is more information and a quick introduction on the wiki, and a FAQ covering common questions and problems.
It features print previews, an equation editor, mouse support, drop down menus, spelling and grammar checking, builtin macro editor and more.

pdp7-unix is a project to resurrect Unix on the PDP-7 from scans of the original assembly code done by Norman Wilson. The scans of PDP-7 Unix are in the Unix Archive as the files 0*.pdf.
A game to learn (or teach) how to use standard commands in a Unix shell.
Teaching first-year university students or high schoolers to use a Unix shell is not always the easiest or most entertaining of tasks. GameShell was devised as a tool to help students at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc to engage with a real shell, in a way that encourages learning while also having fun. The original idea, due to Rodolphe Lepigre, was to run a standard bash session with an appropriate configuration file that defined "missions" which would be "checked" in order to progress through the game.
Available in English, French and Italian.
GameShell should work on any standard Linux system, and also on macOS and BSD (but we have run fewer tests on the latter systems). On Debian or Ubuntu, the only dependencies (besides bash) are the gettext-base and awk packages (the latter is generally installed by default). Some missions have additional dependencies: these missions will be skipped if the dependencies are not met.
In the AUR.

Rc is a command interpreter for Plan 9 that provides similar facilities to UNIX’s Bourne shell, with some small additions and less idiosyncratic syntax. This paper uses numerous examples to describe rc’s features, and contrasts rc with the Bourne shell, a model that many readers will be familiar with.
A collection of modern/faster/saner alternatives to common unix commands.
A site that converts UNIX style time_t timestamps into human readable time/date stamps.
Of course it runs NetBSD.
The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated cryptography. As an example of the effect OpenBSD has, the popular OpenSSH software comes from OpenBSD.
