This was my first public release of something (before a long line of NDA's -which caused me not to release anything publicly again until much later):

In 2001 I released run-free (later updated in 2004). It was the first popular command line execution platform via GTK gui at the time. By 2005 having a command line execution 'thing' from X11 based systems was all the rage. But I did gain some popularity on freshmeat.net (defunct) back in the day.

The old c (original) and c++ (2004) code is hosted on sourceforge and mirrored on github.

It might be interesting to browse the sources these days for fun and to see how we published stuff 15 years ago+....
