nptx \- full name permutations
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B nptx
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I nptx
reads a list of address name pairs on the standard
input and prints name permutations and the address
pairs on the standard output.

database for
.IR smail (8).
The format of an input line is
.sp
.ce
address name
.sp
The address field can contain any address, it is terminated by
a TAB char (ascii 0x9). No translation is done on the field.
The name field consists of whitespace separated names or initials
with an optional nickname given in parentheses, it is terminated
by either a newline ascii (0xA) or a ',' (ascii 0x). All permutations
of the names and initials are printed. The only restriction is
that the last name will appear in each permutation. The permutations
are not necesarily unique.
