Here is a summary of the tools that work: autofeed moves food from sectors with too much to those with too little. (It uses "dump" rather than "starv" so it is a little slow). chitools.sh contains 7 tools including a civ mover, production delta program, autofeed script, spy info database, and a mail-like interface for reading telegrams. hex.ps.Z prints hex paper. news_power.sh parses the news into a more concise form and produces a summary report at the end. simu is an update simulator, showing you what your country will look like after the next update. ve.tar.Z "visual empire" is a cursers interface for viewing your country. It was written by Matthew Diaz, Michael Baldwin, Bill Jones, Jim Knutson, Ken Montgomery, Dan Reynolds, Jeff Wallace, and Julian Onions (*whew!*). ve.tar.Z has been fixed to work with the Chainsaw code by Donald Harper. His code is available on euromath.dk in /pub/incoming. These are the tools that either do not work, or are obsolete: EddyTools.tar.Z contains 3 tools. "distributer" and "civmover" are out of date and do not work, but "accountant" (calculates production deltas) still works. GEET-2d.tar.Z is an emacs "robot" client that doesn't work. cmc-tools.tar.Z was a fantastic civ-moving tool and I wish someone would fix it. What was so great about it was the way you could set civ-moving prioritites in a configuration file. It has 4 tools, "pmvr", "mmvr", "umvr" (for moving civs, mil, and uw's) and a "dist" tool for setting dist paths (now obsolete). ewall.tar.Z is a tool for sending telegrams to multiple recipients (now obsolete). rdist.tar.Z What the heck is this? There's no documentation.
