thanks, i get it now :-)
inspired by recent post on HN, i want to learn picoLisp (at last :P) by re-
implementing some basic UNIX tools. here goes the venerable cat:
#!/usr/bin/env plmod
(mapcar '(
(file)
(in file
(use X
(until (== NIL
(setq X (rd 1)) )
(wr X) ) ) ) )
(argv))
(bye)
guess it could be shorter...
cheers,
