  apps? not sure that is the right term. I'd much rather see the word program. apps is a thing of the various phone providers (apple, android)

  The original /bin/true and /bin/false, if the claim in http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2016-July/019657.html http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2016-July/019657.... ("the original implementation of /bin/true was a zero-length file, while /bin/false worked by not existing at al") is true. gnu hello, a hello world that, in over 7500 bytes of C, supports --help, --version, a --traditional flag that changes "Hello, world!" to "hello, world", --greeting to completely change the greeting, and localization, and correctly sets its exit code if writing of the message fails.
