Of course, this is much easier in a WYSIWYG (operating) system! Simply
say:
Print Directory...
from the "File" menu in the Finder. Would you be so kind to retire
troff now for me? :-) :-) :-)
By the way: in order to make this work, I had to say
'{print $8 "\t" $4 "\t" $3}' instead of '{print $9 "\t" $5 "\t" $3}'.
Was this my fault, your fault or troff's fault? :-) :-) :-)
