Just looked over it now. Very very nice, I think I'll make good use of it, thank you.

It's funny, Unix people say (think it was Kernighan or Ritchie who said it first) that 
this is a spartan operating system, that commands, directory, variable names are 
supposed to be short and concise (thus the vowel shortage abundance :) ), but I 
discovered mainframe hackers' code (be it my MVS colleague's JCL or the shell code you 
submitted) is a lot more spartan when it comes to designating objects. Makes sense. 
You mainframe guys were already doing this way before I was even born, when assembly 
was high-level and every bit count.

Guess you are the original hackers :)
