Scripts

Here are various small utility I have written as scripts rather than full standalone programs. You will need a C compiler -- GCC or Clang are recommended -- and the scripts are intended to be ran on a POSIX-compatible operating system such as BSD, GNU/Linux, Solaris, MacOS, and so on. The most recent versions are linked on this page, but you may also download old versions from their directories.

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is a lottery game that is offered in multiple states in the United States of America. The program offered here is a rather simple numbers generator that uses the number ranges that were available on a lottery card that I had bought in Ohio.

Original description (2022): This script was written since I needed 6 numbers to pick on a Mega Millions® lotto ticket, but I could not think of what num bers to use.

Password

Password is a command-line utility that generates random passwords. It was made to generate passwords for when I had to reset user passwords at my old helpdesk job.
