For those who ever long for Unix-like features on the Macintosh, join
APDA and buy MPW.  It is only $100 these days.  It gives you
equivilents of most the simple Unix tools, scripting, a reasonable
editor, and a source code management system.  Just the backup tool is
worth it for me.  I use it to do hard disk-to-hard disk backups, it
seems faster than DiskFit.

Normal people should not buy MPW, but any techno-nerd with a couple
free megs of disk space who ever longs for a command line should.--
