+A simple tool to encode arbitrary data using a specified encoding chain.
+See the usage statement for more information.  A quick example:
+{{{
+$ echo 'Mallory Is My Friend.' | bletchley-encode -e percent/upper-plus,base64/rfc3548

+NOTE: The encoding chain is applied from right to left in order to be consistent with other tools.  
+That is, one can use the same encoding chain ordering for 
+<code>bletchley-encode</code>, <code>bletchley-decode</code>, and <code>bletchley-analyze</code>.

-TODO
+This script parses an HTTP request (provided via stdin or as a text
+file) and generates a Python script that sends (approximately) the same
+request.  This is useful when one wants to repeatedly send variations of
+a request that was observed to be sent by an application or web
+browser.  For more information, see the script's usage statement.

+A simple program which computes the state of a Java Random class

+<code><a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt()">nextInt()</a></code>.
