Hello Robert,

it's now in the package 'xpdf-reader'. Also a suggestion is 'epdfview',
which behaves like 'evince', but it's smaller.

Package: epdfview
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Version: 0.1.7-2
Provides: pdf-viewer
Description: Lightweight pdf viewer based on poppler libs
The aim of ePDFView is to make a simple PDF document viewer, in the lines of
Evince but without using the GNOME libraries.

Hello lee,

look at the program 'txt2regex'. With it you can define a regex for some
programs like sed, vim, grep etc. It's not perfect, but you always get
the idea.

Package: txt2regex
Section: utils
Version: 0.8-3
Depends: bash (>> 2.04)
Description: A Regular Expression "wizard", all written with bash2
builtins
^txt2regex$ is a Regular Expression "wizard", all written with bash2
builtins, that converts human sentences to RegExs. With a simple
interface, you just answer to questions and build your own RegEx for a
large variety of programs, like awk, emacs, grep, perl, php, procmail,
python, sed and vim. There are more than 20 supported programs.

Hello Peng,

I have this in my vimrc.
--------------------------------+
function ModeChange()           |
  if getline(1) =~ "^#!"        |
    if getline(1) =~ "/bin/"    |
      silent !chmod a+x <afile> |
    endif                       |
  endif                         |
endfunction                     |
--------------------------------+
