        !            12: The command nnppttxx reads  an address/name pair (that is, an address
        !            13: and a  user's full  name), and prints  on the standard  output as
        !            14: many permutations  of the  user's name as  it can think  of, each
        !            15: linked to the given address.  A set of such permutations helps to
        !            16: relieve  a user  of needing  to  know the  exact form  of another
        !            17: user's name when she wishes to send mail to that user.
        !            18: 
        !            19: When a set of users'  names are filtered through nnppttxx, its output
        !            20: can be used as a ``full-name  data base'' that can be used by the
        !            21: COHERENT mail system.

        !            29: _a_d_d_r_e_s_s can  contain any  address.  It  is terminated by  a <ttaabb>
        !            30: character.   _n_a_m_e  consists  of  white-space-separated  names  or
        !            31: initials,  with  an   optional  nickname  given  in  parentheses,
        !            32: terminated by either a newline character or a comma.
        !            33: 
        !            34: nnppttxx  prints all  permutations of the  first names  and initials,
        !            35: with the  last name appearing in  each permutation.  Permutations
        !            36: are not necesarily unique.
