3These are a set of utilities originally released by Neill Corlett
4(http://www.neillcorlett.com/cmdpack/), but the upstream has since
5vanished from the web.

7I don't plan on any major developments, but I'll try to clean up the
8utilities at least a little bit. So far, the most major change is
9ecm's name change to bin2ecm, and requires being called with a name of
10ecm2bin to do the reverse operation now. Neill's last version, 1.03,
11is completely preserved as the root commit and is tagged.

13== Obsoleted utilities
14
15Past versions of cmdpack included some utilities that have been
16deleted, deemed redundant by, and worse than, alternative programs.

18 * +bin2iso+: Bob Doiron's +bin2iso+ or full CD image mounting
19 programs like +cdemu+ can do the job better.
20 * +byteswap+: +dd+.
21 * +id3point+: Any number of replacements, from the command line +id3+
22 program to full internet database-based bulk taggers like
23 Picard. Take your pick.
24 * +subfile+: +dd+.
25 * +usfv+: +rhash+.
26 * +zerofill+: +truncate+ or +dd+.
