Oy. Am I the only one who can do it three different ways? The above is
simplest, get the GNU tools, install run it at the command line replacing
"file" and "file.new". Done in just a few minutes. Or I could do it in Perl
or Python. I fail to see why anyone would have to pull out a compiled
language to do something so trivial.
