This is userv-utils.  It is a collection of utilities and scripts that
serve both as examples for how to use userv, and in some cases,
hopefully as useful programs.

Please see each individual directory for details, installation
instructions, documentation, invididual copyright statements, and
anything else that might be available.

If you do not know what userv is, see its WWW page at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/userv/.  For now at least, the
userv mailing lists should be used to discuss these and other
userv-using programs.

Please send bug reports and suggestions to
userv-maint@chiark.greenend.org.uk, or to the userv-discuss mailing
list if you are subscribed to it.
