********************************************************************************
* Mid's Extended Utilities *
********************************************************************************
This is a package of supplementary Unix-style utilities. They're meant to be
highly portable and to cover common problems that can't be easily solved with
shell.
-vis: Replaces non-printing and non-ASCII characters with octal values. [done]
-unfold: Exactly what it sounds like. unfold will attempt to merge lines
with fewer than the provided number of characters with the next
line, so long as it doesn't cause a word-split.
-overwrite: Reads stdin and writes it to the provided file. [done]
-shuf: Accepts an arbitrary number of arguments; returns one at random.
-rand: Shell interface to the C rand() function.
