i.e., write out lines with reverted order of chars) onto the neXt Archive
i read that as 'reverse the order of the chars on each line'.
http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=1&topic=rev
The rev utility copies the specified files to the standard output,
reversing the order of characters in every line
> has anyone actually used rev(1) in seriousness before?
