Scripts
(tar.gz, 14K) for Document maintenance are freely available on our
ftp site. (You may have to press the shift key to down-load the file to
your system rather than viewing the file in your browser).
All the scripts print a short self-documentation when they are
executed without any command line argument.
Most of these scripts are perl scripts. A few scripts are c-shell
scripts. If your system does not yet include perl, you can down-load
it for free from one of the GNU ftp sites (more information on
perl).
Resstat (pl)
computes result statistics for reports and books by comparing the
figure listed in the TeX document, the figures listed in the
Makefile, and the figure files that reside the document's directory.
Resstat.pl is a fairly nice example of a perl script: it self-docs,
reads files and directories, and has a formatted table output.
Figstat (pl)
is an older version of Resstat and is included in this collection for
backward compatibility.

Tour (csh) visits all lowercase sister
directories (relative to where the command was issued) and executes
gmake [-n] arg where arg is a command line argument
to Tour. (authors: Matt, Joel, Martin, Jon)
tour (csh) executes a sequence of Tour
commands that amounts to a scrutinizing test of a book or report. The
results are stored in a series of log files for later inspection.

makemake (pl) creates a makefile from
picking up the RESULTSER, RESULTSCR, and RESULTSNR variables from all
lowercase subdirectories of the current directory. (authors: Joel,
Matt)
cake2make (pl) attempts to convert a SEP
cakefile to a SEP makefile (in accord with the SEP rules). Sorry, the
script is not perfect and most translated files require some
additional hand editing. (author: Joel)
logmail (pl) splits an SEP log file (as
produced by the Tour script) into email messages for the corresponding
authors. This script is not perfect (yet). (author: Matt)
Wastestat (pl) finds potentially
superfluous files in a directory tree. The script offers several
choices to define "superfluous": one criteria can be the filename, an
alternative one is the age of the file, etc. (author: Matt)
Execstat (pl) lists executable files in a
directory subtree. On SUNs this script can distinguish between
executables that are dynamically linked and the executables that are
not. (author: Matt)
Grepper (pl) recursively searches a
directory tree and lists all text (non-binary) files that contain any
of the keywords stated on the command line. It is a bit of replacement
for a complicated combination of find and grep.
copytree (pl) recursively traverses a
directory tree and copies all linked files, thereby removing the
links.
book2web (pl) converts a SEP book or
thesis to SEP's web format using book2html. It invokes
book2html.pl.
report2web (pl) converts a report (not a
thesis) to SEP's web format using book2html.
book2html (pl) converts a SEP report or
book to SEP's web format. It invokes paper2html for each
chapter.
paper2html
(pl) converts a texfile in the current directory to SEP's html format.
texpr
(csh) invokes TeX, latex, dvips to create various output formats
of a TeX or latex document. texpr knows about SEP's various
default TeX macros and about SEP's local printers. texpr is
a dinosaur of a script and needs to be simplified.
paper2html
(pl) converts a texfile in the current directory to SEP's html format.
septexexpand (pl) expands a SEP latex
file by including all the needed macros to make a portable, standalone
version of the original latex file.
Down-load the compressed tar file, unzip it, untar it, and copy the scripts
in your favorite bin directory. You may have to make the script files
executable. The package includes a Makefile that we use to do the installation
at SEP.
