**UNIX v7 Userspace Goodies for the GNO/ME 2.0.6 ORCA/C 2.2.0B3 Environment**
I have ported a number of utilities and games from UNIX version 7
(1979 release for the PDP-11) to the GNO/ME environment running on
the Apple IIgs. All of these programs build with the ORCA/C 2.2.0B3
compiler.
*Utilities*
These install into `/usr/local/bin`. Man pages are provided and install into
`/usr/local/man/man1`.
- `cal` - Displays a calendar.
- `dd` - Disk dumper - convert and copy a file.
- `find` - Search for files in directory hierarchy.
- `file` - Determine file type.
- `od` - Dump files in octal and other formats.
- `rev` - Reverse lines characterwise.
- `units` - Convert between different units of measure.
*Games*
These install into `/usr/local/games`.
- `arithmetic` - Arithmetic exercise.
- `backgammon` - Backgammon.
- `fish` - Go Fish!
- `fortune` - Fortune cookie.
- `hangman` - Hangman.
- `quiz` - Quiz with various categories.
- `wump` - Hunt the Wumpus.
*Licence*
Caldera issued a free licence in 2002 covering the 'ancient UNIX' code including version 7.
This licence allows use, modification and distribution of the code.

```

`backgammon` does not work yet.
Very minimal testing has been performed. If you find bugs, please let me know!
I plan to port more version 7 utilities in due course.
