I apologize if I overreacted.  It seems that so often I see a reply
posted that is esentially useless, i.e., "You want to do _what_ under
DOS?  Why don't you switch to Unix.", or "It's easy to write
yourself.", with nothing more.  (If the poster knew how to write a
short utility, he/she probably wouldn't ask about it.) These are not
generally helpful responses and I'm afraid I saw one more than I could
handle.
