The Force is strong in this one....8-). Shades of VMS. I always liked the fact that VMS Engineering deliberately coded at least one important system utility in each DEC-supported language in order to require the marketing nitwits to ship all the run-time libraries for all the supported language compilers pre-installed at no charge to the customer.
