some ancient soft stuff of a (solely) nostalgic value
nnhood.tar.bz2.
Written at 1998. Displays TCP/IP "network neighborhood" using broadcast on UDP
echo port. C. Also may serve as an example how to get all network interfaces of
a machine (a question popped up from time to time in the relevant Usenet
newsgroups).

Written at 2000. Inspired by the (real hardcopy) fridgecode from thinkgeek

ancient glibc build istructions:
install new binutils (2.21 is ok, 2.18 is not), otherwise one gets some
asm-related unresolved symbols errors
mkdir glibc-2.13-build; cd glibc-2.13-build
echo "CFLAGS += -march=i586" > configparms
(otherwise one gets
undefined reference to `__sync_bool_compare_and_swap_4`
and similar errors)
/pack/glibc-2.13/bin/localedef -c -v -i en_US en_US
(to prevent warnings like
Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
from some bogosities like Open Office and such)
