i think this represents the real beauty and power of unix. here's something that some poor team of developers slaved over for nine months to implement in OS9, that can be thoroughly replicated by a four line shell script in unix.

with a little knowledge, ingenuity and cleverness, the tools you can create in unix-land are infinitely beautiful and mind-boggingly simple.

it's a bizarre system, at first. but after you turn the corner, Oz! you realize what a good philosophy the designers had in mind.

but, don't get me started talking about the inconsistencies in the man pages! #@%$^&*

Keep diggin'
