I am writing a Nutshell Handbook on the UNIX utilities
sed and awk (nawk & gawk).  
I'm going to include a chapter that contains
a miscellany of scripts, including ones we
use in text processing at O'Reilly & Associates.

Over the years I've come across a 
number of interesting scripts on the net.  
Some of the scripts I've manage to save and I am contacting
authors for permission to include their scripts. 
If anyone on the net has written a script and would like to
contribute it, please e-mail it to me.  Please explain
what problem you were trying to solve with it
and how it is used.  If I use the script 
in the book, you'll see your name in print
and I'll send you a copy of the book.   

Send the script to "uunet!ora!dale" or "dale@ora.com". 
Include your street mailing address so that I 
will be able to get the book to you when it comes
out in the early fall.

Thanks.
