Four more console tools
Usually I focus on console programs that include an interface of some sort. The reason for that, as I have said before, is because there really isn’t much difference between GUI programs with buttons and menus, and a console application that arranges things visually and cues you from that interface. The long, long list of available audio players for the console should be illustration enough of that.
But I need to get past that sometimes. After all, there are programs whose “interface” is so exceedingly sparse as to be … practically nonexistent. Sometimes that’s because there’s no need for an interface — the program just does what it’s told, and finishes. Other times its because the author was even more of a minimalist than me, if you can believe that.
