    tweetwire

This program connects to Twitter.

It allows ALL Twitter traffic for a server to be sucked in and treated like an
incoming data stream like a wire service.

A small FipHdr is added with date and time fields, sender and receiver logons
before the file is passed on - normally to spool/2brouted for 'iproute' to sort
out.

RoundRobin may be set for the output folder and also adds the RR FipHdr field

The program reads a parameter file in tables/wire which has the same name as
the '-n' service.
Parameters may be
    ; comment
    log-level:0,10,20                   default: 0
        0-errors only

        Same as '-h' input switch
    extra-fiphdr : Extra File FIP header information    default: none
        For fixed header info to add to the output file. eg #QA:AA#QB:BASIC
        As this flag is normally the last specified, its contents can be used to

                There can be multiple httphdr lines but pls remember to add a
'\n' at the
                end of each one. (or you can try to force all on one httphdr
line!)

                Build a FipHdr field with the BasicAuthentication formatted
