rs and lam look interesting. Are these commands really only available on BSD (i.e. 'proper' Unix derivatives)? Hoping for Linux compilable code.

There is a "rs" package in Debian so it must be available on most Linux distributions. Otherwise it should be quite straightforward to port the code since it doesn't do anything complicated.

Not finding 'describe' at present (I shall persist). There seem to be few dependencies in these source files...
