That doesn't say much for RT-11! ;-) I did like PIP, though, even coming *from* a UNIX background originally (about the *only* thing that I could say something good about...) The idea of being able to apply wildcards to "not-yet-existing files" is a nice one, which unfortunately doesn't fit the otherwise-powerful Unix paradigm for wildcards. I can't say that DOS has really taken off and run with that 1975 idea, though. (sigh) Digression? What digression?
