Sheesh!  I thought this was net.unix-wizards!


Daniel, I sentence thee to 500 readings of "UNIX for Beginners -- Second Edition"
It's written by Brian Kernighan, and you *ought* to be able to find
it stored in /usr/doc or /usr/docs.  Failing that, look in Volume 2B
of the Programmers manual (It's right in the front)

How often is stdin *not* /dev/tty?
