  I read this once, ages ago, and just came across it again.  Good
stuff.  Not only entertaining, but educational.  I learned a lot from
reading it.

  It helps to know that this document dates from an era when *nix OSes
came on tape, GNU utilities were rare (if they existed yet at all),
and propriatary vendor-specific brain damage was universal.
