PARADISE TOOLS

These are tools used for working with the server and its db.
Most of them must be used while the server is running (set your
NETREKDIR environment variable).  I would suggest checking out
all the options available to each tool with the -h flag.

mes      -- used to send messages to the message boards, via a regular
            terminal.

xtk      -- has various options for controlling the game from a
            terminal.

wm       -- watch messages sent back and forth.

pl       -- list players in the game.

reset    -- reset the galaxy.

promo    -- check for recent rank promotions.

hs       -- compares old db file with new player db file to create a
            highscores ranking.

trim     -- used to clean up and trim the player db.

hr       -- creates a listing of the top n players.

ds       -- describe/dump ships; runs the daemon and dumps out
            stats on each ship in a format dependant upon the given
            options.
