ip2life

This program takes an incoming file (from any source but usually a wire
service) and puts it into none, one or several LIFE FSF files for copy tasting
on the Mac.

It uses a parameter file, which defaults to tables/setup/LIFE, to determine
where the file should be inserted.

The parameter file has the following syntax :
	; comment
	wireid: (agency name) : (life id)
	from: (agency or agency selection)	section: (section name)	fsf: (sizes)
	default-agency: (agency name)
	default-wireid: (lifeid)

Section keyword is the subqueue under the main path which will hold the FSFs.
The FSF sizes 
For example:
	from:apspt	section:sports	fsf:100,1000,5000	text:XK

will check incoming copy for the DU FipHdr field and if that field includes
'sport' it is processed as per the section line. For these it will
create/manage the Remotefile in /fip/spool/life/sports, adding to FSF100,
FSF1000 and FSF5000. The 'agency' and 'baskets' resource forks are used to
determine attributes.

A text keyword may be (optionally) added to stuff text from header fields
(FipSeq) at the top of the file and RemoteView entry.

The default 'fsf'		is FSF100 only.
The default 'text'		is nothing.
The default 'topfile'		is spc Filename tab date time tab headline CRNL
The default 'catch'		is XK or failing that the 1st line of text.

There can be one or more items in the DU header field eg :
	DU:sports+home+fin

The 'wireid' keyword is a duplication of the LIFE agency slot for the incoming
wire. It should match exactly that file.
	wire-id:PA:20

The 'default-wireid' is the number of the default id used when there is NO
FipHdr SU.
	default-wireid:23
	default-agency:BUCKET

Input parameters are : all optional :
	-i : queue to scan			default: spool/2life
	-o : output path 			default: spool/life
		This is the top level path for entries in the parameter file
	-d : done queue for input data		default: none
		Use this to make a copy of all data files passing through
		If the queue does NOT start with a '/' it is assumed
		to be under /fip/spool

	-t : scan time of directory		default: 2 secs
	-l : log each msg in			default: do NOT log
