  Net Pipe - 1.0.1

This package is a set of tools to redirect standard input and
standard output to network UDP/IP  or  TCP/IP port.  They can
be especially useful in shell scripts for system programming.

These tools have been tested on several  Linux distributions.
Please contact me if you have (un)successfully  tried to port
them on different systems.

Installation:
 1 - "cd" to the package directory
 2 - run "./configure"
 3 - run "make all" to compile the source files
 4 - run "make test" to verify the executable files
 5 - edit the top of the Makefile to set the path "bindir" and "man1dir"
     according to your system configuration.
 6 - run "make install" to install the tools (needs root  privileges)

A more detail explanation of the configure script resides in
the INSTALL file (coming from GNU autoconf documentation).

You can find example of use in the test_tools.sh script.
