New description:
The one who was aiming at the ''Useless Use of `cat` Award'' ![1]
unfortunately did some wrong escaping, so we currently get for example:
{{{
#!sh
$ ./sage --version
| Sage Version 4.7.2.alpha3-pre7-without-examples, Release Date:
2011-09-28 |
* Warning: this is a prerelease version, and it may be unstable. *
}}}
Also, I don't think the second line should be printed, hence the new
version also case-sensitively "greps" for `Version`, such that we get:
{{{
#!sh
$ ./sage --version
Sage Version 4.7.2.alpha3-pre7-without-examples, Release Date: 2011-09-28
}}}
