So were PDP11 octal code dumps. God I loved reading that stuff! 🙂 (actually I’m serious – the PDP11 was so perfectly regular that almost anyone could read octal code dumps [after you got over the intimidation of the task]).

BTW – you are right – awk is an awesome tool.
You’ve defended her honor well. 🙂
