more in the SFK Book
   the SFK Book contains a 60 page tutorial, including
   long sfk script examples with input, output and
   detail explanations. type "sfk book" for more.

examples
   sfk batch foo.bat
      creates batch file foo.bat with embedded sfk script.
      type "foo.bat" to run the created script. note that
      foo.bat must be created in a directory of your PATH,
      or in the current directory.

   sfk batch foo.bat -force
      the same as above, and overwrites an existing file.

   sfk batch foo.sh
      create a bash script file, with lf only line endings.
      can also be used under windows for mingw environments.

   sfk samp java foo.java
      create a java class foo. if the java JDK is available,
      type "javac foo.java" and then "java foo" to run it.

   sfk samp phpimg doimg.php
      create image processing script that can be run by:
      php doimg.php
      if php.exe is in your PATH (read remarks in the script).

   sfk samp javahex +toclip
      copy example for java hexdump creation to the clipboard.

   sfk samp http tmp.bat
      create an example script for automated web/http access.

   sfk samp http -bash tmp.sh
      the same, but using bash in a Windows Cygwin environment.

   sfk samp c tmp.c
      create an instant c program with some helper functions
      for quick and easy writing of a small c project.
      compile by: gcc tmp.c or g++ tmp.c or cl tmp.c

   sfk samp cpp tmp.cpp
      same as the 'c' code example.

      existing file.

   sfk batch foo.sh
      create a bash script file, with lf 
      only line endings. can also be used
      under windows for mingw environments.

   sfk samp java foo.java
      create a java class foo. if the java 
      JDK is available, type "javac foo.
      java" and then "java foo" to run it.

   sfk samp phpimg doimg.php
      create image processing script that 
      can be run by: php doimg.php if php.
      exe is in your PATH (read remarks in
      the script).

   sfk samp javahex +toclip
      copy example for java hexdump 
      creation to the clipboard.

   sfk samp http tmp.bat
      create an example script for 
      automated web/http access.

   sfk samp http -bash tmp.sh
      the same, but using bash in a Windows 
      Cygwin environment.

   sfk samp c tmp.c
      create an instant c program with some 
      helper functions for quick and easy
      writing of a small c project. compile
      by: gcc tmp.c or g++ tmp.c or cl
      tmp.c

   sfk samp cpp tmp.cpp
      same as the 'c' code example.
