Hi,
  Here are two very simple programs i wrote a while ago to fill a gap in my
/usr/bin directory. They where hacked together quickly and with little
consideration to readability.


guage:	Shows a constantly updating count of bytes/lines that it reads from
	its input, optionally copying the data back out, eg.
		# tar cf - linux | guage -b -speed -copy | gzip -9 >linux.tar.gz
	will tell you how mush of linux is archived and how fast it it
	proceeding.
	guage is GPL'd.


charof:	Prints the numeric equivalent of any character you pass as a parameter
	eg.
		# charf A
		65
	charof is free, not even GPL'd.


There are 2 ways to compile.
  1. Type 'make' then copy the executables anywhere you like.
  2. Type 'make install' and the executables will by copied into /usr/bin

When you are done type 'make clean'.
