Doug O'Dell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: GNU General Public License V2 or later.
Package: swap - a command line utility to edit files and directory trees.
System name: swap
Type: GNU

Description:
'swap' is a linux command line utility that simplifies the replacement of strings 
within files.  It is a directory tree editor which employs simple syntax to do rapid, 
global modifications on existing files and directories.

It has currently has two modes of operation, 1) accepting the old-string and 
new-string commands via the command line, or 2) accepting  the string replacement 
commands from the default 'swap.cmd' file.

A simple example of its use is shown:

    swap 'generate_default_code()' 'execute_special_code()' '*.c'

This replaces every instance of the string 'generate_default_code()' with the 
replacement string 'execute_special_code()'
in all the 'C' source files in the current working directory.

For more detailed examples of 'swap' in operation, refer to the embedded 
documentation.  Just invoke 'swap' with no arguments, or type 'swap /h' on the command 
line for the expanded help display.

Other Software Required:
There are no unusual dependencies.  The program compiles with the standard GCC 
compiler.  Internally, the program makes system calls to 'find' and 'chmod', which are 
programs anticipated to be available on any *unix system.

Other Comments:
I am sending the source code: "swap.c, linklist.c, and linklist.h" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
