Misc Tools is a collection of small but useful utilities. Most of these are built on top of the CFL library so you will need that library in order to compile them. Please note that you must link these against the single-threaded version of CFL. You can get CFL from http://www.hyperrealm.com/cfl/.
Some of these programs also need the ncurses library, which you can get from http://www.gnu.org/.
There is now a configure script to build this whole package. See the INSTALL file for generic installation instructions. Typically, the steps required are:
./configure
make
su root
make install
You can also build and install an individual program by running the above commands in that program's subdirectory.
Documentation (in the form of postscript files) is in the doc/ subdirectory. The same documentation (as unformatted manpages) exists in each of the utility directories (and will be installed in the appropriate man directory).
