1 This directory tree's worth of stuff are utility bits that are used in
2 more than one of the Glasgow functional-programming tools. (For the
3 project-specific bits, try <project>/utils/<blah>.)
5 etags/ A variant of the common Emacs tags-generating program.
7 msub/ a utility from Paul DuBois, that lets you substitute
8 for make variables (e.g., $(CC) ) in any old document.
9 Given that, with the "make world" configuration
10 system, Makefiles have loads of useful config info in
11 them, this is the program used to sneak that info into
14 verbatim/ A LaTeX pre-processor that some people like, namely
15 Simon PJ. Provides shorthand for common LaTeX
16 constructs that he uses.
18 scripts/ little utility scripts
20 fastmake a "make" wrapper for compiling Haskell programs;
21 essentially, strips out the "make depend"ed
22 dependencies to avoid so much re-checking.
24 lndir from X imake stuff (via DuBois); make a shadow tree
27 ltx a "latex" wrapper. Re-runs latex/bibtex/makeindex
28 enough times to "do the right thing."
30 mkdependC script version of C makedepend (from X11R4 via DuBois)
32 mkdirhier "mkdir a/b/c/d" will do "mkdir a; mkdir a/b; ..."
33 (assuming none of those dirs exist)
35 perltags "etags" for Perl.
37 runstdtest runs a pgm with some flags & some stdin; checks for an
38 expected exit code, expected stdout, and expected
39 stderr. (Expect this to change :-)
41 zap-if-same Zap files in this directory (and subdirectories) if
42 they are identical to files in the given directory
43 (and its subdirectories). With -s, it replaces the
44 files here with symlinks to the files there.
