GAK_CLI was originaly implemented on an Atari ST computer in 1988 as a command line interpreter and a set of useful tools. Most of the tools worked like their counterparts in MS-DOS and were compiled with Turbo C from Heimsoeth & Borland, the company in Munich I was working for in these times. The cli and many of these tools are no longer under development, but there are new useful tools here.

Here is a list of commands:

aes encrypt a file

clichess find a chess move

clip analyse a WAV-file and find clipings

dlink duplicate a directory by creating hardlinks for each file

dupMails read all mbox files and search for duplicate mails
