This is a collection of scripts created by Bart De Schutter.


Installation
------------
These scripts should be saved in a directory like ~/bin that should
be included into your PATH (see e.g. your .bash_profile file) and
they should be made executable (use chmod +x script_name for this).

Some of the perl scripts require the installation of perl library
modules (with extension .pm). The directory in which the modules files
are saved should be included into your $PERL5LIB environment variable
(e.g. include a statement like
export PERL5LIB=${PERL5LIB}:directory_you_saved_these_modules_in
into your .bash_profile file).

As some systems might already have commands with the same name as
these scripts, you might want to rename the scripts, or add a line
like
alias script_name=~/your_bin_dir/script_name
in your login files (e.g., .bashrc) in order to be able to use the
given command.


Directories
-------------------
The scripts assume that the user has created a subdirectory ~/tmp to
store temporary files and directories. If such a directory does not
exist, temporary files and directories are created in the TMPDIR
directory, or, if the environment variable TMPDIR is not defined, in
the systemwide /tmp directory. In case the latter directory does not
exist either, the current directory is used to store temporary files
and directories.
