- Fan IBM :-) I'm not going to spend my time rewriting a
- silly command line for some Boat Anchor I have absolutely no respect for.
- I'm concerned with SUN, HP, SGI, DEC, NeXT, Sony, etc. 90% or
- better of the people out there reading this can use my original example
- just fine. I have better things to do than worry about EBCDIC :-)
