## This script reads a list of filenames from stdin and, assuming
## they represent ClearCase versioned elements, compares their
## current element type to what it should be according to
## "cleartool file". If they differ, it changes the type to what
## it should be. Useful if for whatever reason you've got a bunch
## of elements with (potentially) wrong types and need to fix them.
