Programming Bits and Pieces

Below is a list of some of my small general-purpose programs or scripts which might be of use to someone else... They are mostly one-hour to one-afternoon jobs, usually with sloppily written or altogether lacking documentation, yet some of them are serving me for years.

slovene.map - Linux Keyboard Map for Slovene Keyboard.
Remaps Slovene keyboard for use under Linux. Since version 0.90 (I think) it is part of prof. Andries Brouwer's kbd package (or keytbls package in Slackware). Also, corrected lat2-??.psf fonts for the same kbd package, and two small utilities I have used for correcting them. The correction is really minor and only important to those using ë (lowercase e with diaeresis accent), which essentially excludes all those who use ISO Latin 2, anyway. I have already sent the correction to the author and maintainer of kbd package, Professor Brouwer.
updtecaj - Daily Update of Exchange Rate
units(1) on Unix uses exchange rate from May 18, 1977. updtecaj patches the appropriate table daily with exchange rate obtained by email from Slovenian central bank, Banka Slovenije. Also available as zip archive.
