I am looking for a public domain implementation of at(1), atq(1), and atrm(1)
for use on a Dynix BSD system.  If you've ever used at(1) on Dynix, you know
why I'm asking.  For everyone else, Dynix's at seems to hail from the deep
dark recesses of an early 4BSD.  It has very limited date parsing ability
and, perhaps worst of all, atq and atrm do not exist at all.  We want to
promote the use of delayed processing through at, but our users have no way
of knowing (easily) what is in the at queue or a way of removing an unwanted
at job (other than call us).

We've already switched to Paul Vixie's cron and it helped a great deal.  Now,
we need to take care of at.  Pointers to usable source would be appreciated.
