Autogen - Automated program and text generation

Autogen generates program files that contain repetitive text with varied substitutions. It simplifies program maintenance with large amounts of repetitive text, which is useful if there are several blocks of such text that must be synchronized. The following programs are also included:
 AutoOpts- automates the handling of command line, environment
 and donfig file options, including usage text, man
 pages, and the invoking section of an info doc
 getdefs - extracts AutoGen definitions from stylized comments
 embedded in source code
 columns - tabularizes lists for improved output appearance
 AutoXDR - NFSv4 specifies that its remote procedure calls be
 batched. AutoGen generates the code for marshalling
 and unmarshalling the arguments on both sides of the
 RPC request
 AutoFSM - produces a transition table and prototype finite
 state machine where it is possible to determine a
 state transition type (token code) without reference to
 the current state
 xml2ag -  lets AutoGen use any XML file as if it were a set of
 AutoGen definitions
