Tom Schneider's ToolKit

toolkit.zip: A directory containing many Unix tools that I use. Each tool is documented internally. Some major, very useful ones that I use all the time are:

• atchange - on-the-fly automation,
• calaround - like the Unix cal but gives the surrounding months
• fmti - format text paragraphs
• nowhere - jump to a directory directly by key name.
• slideshow - make a slide show
• yvp quickly get to a paper by Year, Volume and Page in PubMed

toolkit-packing-slip: a complete list of the components in the current toolkit.

The toolkit contains a script called unpacktoolkit that will unpack the tools and put them in a directory called ~/script for you. Once you have done that, you can use the script grabtoolkit to automate the whole process by obtaining the latest toolkit by ftp.
