   Download this file (about 830k) of the Unix text utilities:
   ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/txt122b.zip

   These are the standard suite of GNU text utilities ported to
MS-DOS. You'll find that nl.exe is a flexible, powerful program for
numbering lines -- that's all it's intended to do. You can also number
lines with "cat.exe -n filename", but nl has more options.
