+JDB is a package of commands for manipulating flat-ASCII databases
+from shell scripts. JDB is useful to process medium amounts of data
+(with very little data you'd do it by hand, with megabytes you might
+want a real database). JDB is very good at doing things like:
+
+ * extracting measurements from experimental output
+ * re-examining data to address different hypotheses
+ * joining data from different experiments
+ * eliminating/detecting outliers
+ * computing statistics on data (mean, confidence intervals,
+ histograms, correlations)
+ * reformatting data for graphing programs
