Hello,

I have released a tool that extends tr command to handle strings.
the command syntax is: trans rule [file ...]
where "rule" is a rule file.
The examples:
	Two lines in rule file:
		alice bob
		bob alice
	will swap "alice" and "bob" in text.

	Three lines in rule file:
		alice bob
		bob carol
		carol alice
	will rotate "alice", "bob" and "carol" in text.

	Trans originary designed for unicode conversion NFD to NFC.=20
	Therefore trans has format suitable for the problem:=20
		# unicode
		# Latin letters
		0061:0308	00E4	=C3=A4
		0065:0308	00EB	=C3=AB
		0069:0308	00EF	=C3=AF
		006F:0308	00F6	=C3=B6
		0075:0308	00FC	=C3=BC
		0079:0308	00FF	=C3=BF

The code in trans will be applied to u9fs for Mac.
