Home page of Steve Kirkendall

Greetings!

This no-frills home page exists primarily to point you toward my free software. If you need to reach me via email, you can do so at kirkenda@cs.pdx.edu.

Free software:

untar
This is a tiny, highly-portable program for extracting files from Unix tar archives, or .tar.gz (.tgz) archives. There is no README file, but you can get a help message by running it with no arguments. You can download the source code, 16-bit MS-DOS executable, or Win32 executable.
elvis 2.1
Elvis is a clone of the Unix "vi" editor, with many extensions. There is an online README page. You can also download the source code, 16-bit MS-DOS executables, or Windows95/98/NT executables.
Blursk 1.3
Blursk is a visualization plugin for XMMS MP3 player.
tilemkrs.tgz
tilemkrs.tgz is a gzipped tar archive of a couple of tiny programs for generating background tiles for use with Netscape or as the root image of an X terminal. Loads of fun.

Interested in the history of vi? You can find an old interview with Bill Joy here.


I'd like to thank Portland State for providing me with free use of their computer systems. It's amazing to think that I've had the same email address for over ten years now!
