Description
The misc module contains a number of generally useful tools:

misc
contains a grab-bag of useful functions.

os
contains system-specific functions like file and directory handling.

aipsrc
is available for querying the AIPS++ resources (``.aipsrc'' files). aipsrcedit allows interactive editing of AIPS++ resources.

getrc
is available for querying the AIPS++ resources (``.aisprc'' files) during system startup to avoid recursive dependencies involving aipsrc.

sysinfo
allows interrogation of other miscellaneous AIPS++ information.

printer
is available for printing files and Glish values.

assay
is available for testing the installation.

stopwatch
implements a set of timing functions in the style of a traditional stopwatch.

sh
creates a persistent shell client, amortizing startup over many different function calls.

substitute
is available for substituting Glish variables and expressions in a string.

itemcontainer
is a generic closure tool container.

aips2loc
plots the lines of code in AIPS++ as a function of time.

ftp
allows ftp operation from inside AIPS++.
