[Cough, cough.]

Yes, I have a PD cron. It was written for the GNU project, but I'm
giving it away for the asking. And yes, it's not hard to do a cron
from scratch - the hard part was dragging myself away from the Amiga
long enough to finish it (except for the as-yet-to-be-finished
documentation).

Got lotsa nifty features, too - per-user cron files (ala sysV) (just
what the Amiga needed :-); at built in (no need for atrun), but you'll
have to rewrite the at shell script; file names with nice, human
readable names; plus my nifty linked-list and doped string libraries.

The shar file is in the mail. Just wanted to let everyone know that
you can send mail to Bob asking where it is, instead of me :-).
