The scripts in ~ns/bin are unfortunately not formally documented,
although most show "usage" commands if you run them with the argument
-?.

Also, many are used by the test suites and example programs so you can
use that as examples.

Debo is right that awk or perl post-processing is good for many, many
things, although some of the things in bin are meant to replace
constantly re-writing the same awk/perl program.
