It's quicker if you take the pages out of /usr/man/cat* (at least
that's what it's called 'round hyar...) since it doesn't have to be
deroff'ed before you lpr it.

But then, if'n you don't have the un-?roff'ed pages...

Plug (or so Prentice-Hall will think):

	Kernighan & Pike, _The UNIX Programming Environment_, 1984

gives some help ("not $23 worth of help, but some..." as Professor
Hubbard has remarked.)  It starts out with simple piddle like
the "cat" command and runs up to system calls.

Oddly, neither it nor K&R mention the word "socket", WHY!?!
