Run jackshacks scripts

jackshacks scripts are self-contained JOD generated groups. They have no dependencies beyond simple standard J load utils that are always present in jqt or jconsole sessions. To run them simply load:

load '~addons/jacks/ipynb.ijs' 

load '~addons/jacks/riseset.ijs' 

Each script is accompanied with a jodliterate generated PDF that describes how to use the script.

~addons/jacks/ipynb.pdf
~addons/jacks/riseset.pdf
