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
BibTeX and PubMed Tools
Lists more tools for BibTex and PubMed/PubMedCentral
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.
Notes
- This page is:

-
Macintosh.
You can download the toolkit to a Mac and it will run fine there.
(The automation of gpcc in 'program' is giving me some trouble though.)
-
Linux.
The tools should work under Linux,
but I haven't tested it that much there.
-
LaTeX.
The toolkit has scripts associated with
LaTeX
-
You can get the entire LaTeX system from
the Tex User Group
tug.org.
-
I became a
member so I get their wonderful (literally full of wonder!)
TUGboat publication
-
A subscription to TUGboat also gets one the yearly distribution
Tex Collection
DVD of the software.
This makes installation easy.
-
You can get help with that from the texhax mailing list,
http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo.
-
Requests.
If there are tools you would like to see (aside from individual
information which is under patent) you can ask
me
to put them in the kit.
