evenmoreutils - a collection of command line tools
==================================================

This is evenmoreutils, a collection of command line tools inspired by
moreutils.  Both complement the standard *NIX toolset (ls, grep, less etc).
The tools are:

anywait: like wait, but works on any pid from the system
easy-getopt: an easier verision of the getopt command line tool
fit:     truncates a stream by fitting it into a certain width
hilite:  runs a command, highligh stderr
hl:      highlight some expressions on a stream
mime:    prints the mimetype of a file (file -bi)
nup:     n-up an output from a program (making 
p:       runs parallel processes tagging or highlighting their output
pad:     pads a stream with whitespaces to fit a certain width
randpar: output a random parameter
untl:    runs a program until it is sucessful (whle)
sgetopt: simple getopt version (not a command, a lib)

They are currently *experimental* tools.  There are some known bugs (check the
manpages of each command for details).  Code is quick-and-dirty on lots of
them.
