Windows users:

• If you have problems downloading this scripts, try holding the SHIFT key before clicking on a script name. If you don't want the script name to have an extension (i.e. ".sh"), just replace the suggested extension with a period ".".
• All scripts are stored in UNIX text format. To convert the scripts to DOS text format, download the script xtod and enter the command xtod *. Of course you need a UNIX like shell, i.e. the MKS-Toolkit or U/Win.
