                     Forever stumbling across Unix commands
                                        
Man, I hate when this happens—I'm browsing around on the Intarwebs, when I
come across a reference to what appears to be some obscure Unix command [1]
only to find it's been around for close to thirty years now [2]. 

Sigh. 

That's what I get for not bothering to read up on the 3,300 commands
available by default on your typical Unix installation (found by simple
invocation of find `echo $PATH | tr : ' '` -type f -perm 755 | wc -l—ain't
Unix wonderful?).
