short descriptions of files in the tools-directory

tinews.pl
       a perl script that can be used as a inews replacement if posting via
       NNTP. the main purpose of this script is to automatically sign
       posted/mailed articles via pgp or gpg. besides the autosigning
       feature it takes care about Cc: and Bcc: lines in news-postings
       and adds a Posted-And-Mailed: header if necessary.

w2r.pl
       is a small perl script that turns a wildmat filter file
       into a regexp filter file (don't forget to set wildmat= in tinrc
       accordingly)
       usage:
       w2r.pl < wildmat-filter-file > regexp-filter-file

opt-case.pl
       is a small perl script that tries to opt out case insensitive
       regexp, it will put a comment above each line it touched.
       usage:
       opt-case.pl < regexp-filter-file > regexp-filter-file-case

       w2r.pl and opt-case.pl might be used together, i.e:
       w2r.pl < wildmat-filter-file | opt-case.pl > regexp-filter-file-case

tinlock
       is a small shell script that creates a lockfile before starting
       tin to avoid multiple copies of tin running, when tin exits cleanly
       the lockfile is removed; tinlock will warn about suspicious
       locks/deadlocks. tinlock is kind of NFS safe.
       usage:
       tinlock [tin-cmdline-args]

metamutt
       is a small shell script to replace metamail, set
       metamail_prog=metamutt in tin and till will pass multipart
       MIME-articles to metamutt instead of metamail. metamutt will pass
       the article to mutt (a mail client with an excellent MIME-parser).
       this might become obsolete as tin now has a small built in MIME-parser,
   set metamail_prog=--internal to use the built in version.

url_handler.sh
       is a shell script (need to be placed in $PATH) which passes the URL
       selected by the 'U' command to a related viewer/application. this
       one is very basic.

url_handler.pl
       is a perl script (need to be placed in $PATH) which passes the URL
       selected by the 'U' command to a related viewer/application. the
       perl version has full $BROWSER support.

expand_aliases.tgz
       is a small c-source which reads you elm-aliasfile, translates the
       alias into the real address and passes it to the MTA. see included
       README-file/man-page for more details.

expiretover
       is a small shell script to expire old tin overview files. if you use
       cache_overview_files=ON in your tinrc you might want to run this
       script regularly (e.g. once a day from cron) to purge old overview
       files.

flnews2tin.pl
       is a perl script to turn a flnews(1) score file into a tin(1) regexp
       filter file.
