In defense of Larry WAS What's wrong with this Bourne shell script?

[Patrick Hertel]

 In sum the argument is that when someone asks for a solution to a Bourne
problem the answer should be Bourne.
 While I would agree in the case where the reply was made throgh e-mail a
posting is also for the edification of the unwashed and alternate solutions
should certainly be welcome. I see no purpose, within reason, in limiting
replies. I apologize for a posting which is not really appropriate to
this forum, I don't want to start a debate and detract from this newsgroup's
real purpose.
