Useful Little Scripts

This collection of useful little scripts was, with one exception, written by Ronald Joe Record. The one exception (dft) was written by Hiram Clawson. Anyway, these little scripts are intended to make your life easier. For instance, rather than having to read the cpio manual page every time you use cpio and then construct some long command line, you can just use the dpio script or the cpiocopy script.
