	Well, Boyd, while your answer is logistically correct, answering
"No" to a question is just a little too brief when an alternative
exists. Just because the poster said he wanted a 'simple' method
doesn't mean you should make him think there is NO way to to it. I 
wouldn't want you to try to read someone else's mind but a response like:

No, there is no simple way but you could try ofiles which is neither
simple, available everywhere, portable, clean, nor reliable.

which is exactly what you did say over 3 posts.
