The whole 'one tool does one thing' is not what Unix has ever been.. it is a rosy glasses view forgetting all the arguments over whether awk+sed+sh or sh+sed+awk or special program G was the best way to solve a problem. Which gets down to the fundamental issue. Humans are not lock step creatures.. they will think differently and see different ways to solve a problem and the universe is complex enough that it works so much that people get frustrated with each other because they would like just one way to do things (their way). -- Stephen J Smoogen. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
