Although I hate to continue an obvious "religious" thread, I'm in total
agreement with you Moi. The things I really love about UNIX is the
almost unlimited-in-power command-line, shell programming, and all
those little "misdesigned piece of crap" code. Hey, you don't have to
write a 'C' program to most text file manipulation. Just create a
sequence of pipes using awk, sed, tail, paste, cut! And you don't even
have to recompile! Way Cool!
