Make a Company List

[Tom Neff]

You might get a hoot out of this.  I use it to make a master list
of organizations (companies) and their machines.  That way if I
want to flame the bozos at Yoyodyne Industries or find someone who
works at B Ark Software Inc.  I can get a fast start.

	read x company

	while test "$x" != "#O"
	do read x company

	echo $machname::$company
done | sort | uniq
