This directory contains several simple utilities that either are not used or can be replaced with simpler tools:

  • args.c: not used
  • echoout.c: used once in Macaulay2/d to reverse a list. Possible alternative:
    • alias tac='perl -e "print reverse(<>)"' (in case tac doesn't already exist)
    • (for d in ${MY_LIST}; do echo $$d; done) | tac
  • gc_demo.c: not used, though perhaps useful to keep it somewhere else for pedagogy.
  • gc_test.c: used as a test, can be moved to Macaulay2/tests
  • linkexec*: seems to be an overly complicated solution to making the programs relocatable
  • setup.c: windows legacy
  • timestamp.c: compiled, but not used as far as I can tell
