+This collection of scripts was originally written for ksh-88 by
+John DuBois <spcecdt@armory.com>. The conversion to bash v2
+syntax was done by Chet Ramey.
+
+These scripts are as-is; there is no copyright associated with
+any of them. They exist simply as examples of bash scripting.
+
+Here's a description of what's in this directory:
+
+arc2tarz Convert an "arc" archive to a compressed tar archive.
+corename Tell what produced a core file.
+fman Fast man replacement.
+frcp Copy files using ftp but with rcp-type command line syntax.
+lowercase Change filenames to lower case.
+ncp A nicer front end for cp (has -i, etc.).
+newext Change the extension of a group of files.
+nmv A nicer front end for mv (has -i, etc.).
+pages Print specified pages from files.
+pf A pager front end that handles compressed files.
+rename Change the names of files that match a pattern.
+repeat Execute a command multiple times.
+untar Unarchive a (possibly compressed) tarfile into a directory.
+uudec Carefully uudecode multiple files.
+uuenc uuencode multiple files.
+vtree Print a visual display of a directory tree.
+where Show where commands that match a pattern are.
+
