| 53 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| 54 | . |
| 55 | The |
| 56 | .B sw-tidy |
| 57 | command reads |
| 58 | .BR sw (1)'s |
| 59 | index file |
| 60 | .IB prefix /sw-index |
| 61 | and writes out a new version with duplicate packages removed. This |
| 62 | makes it take less space, and lets programs read it faster. Also, as a |
| 63 | side-effect, the new version is written out in alphabetical order of |
| 64 | package-name, although that's not very important. |
| 65 | .PP |
| 66 | The program copes (a bit) if the index file is written to while it's |
| 67 | being tidied. |

| 71 | .SH "BUGS" |
| 72 | . |
| 73 | Perhaps there ought to be a locking convention for the index file. |
| 74 | However, it's nice that people can update it using |
| 75 | .BR cat (1) |
| 76 | and text editors. |

| 87 | The \*(sw program, and this manual, are \*(mw productions, in association |
| 88 | with the European Bioinformatics Institute. They were written by Mark |
| 89 | Wooding <mdw@nsict.org>. Go and ask him if you have problems. |
