I decided at one point that I missed the Unix write command, so sat down
and wrote writefs, which could be used for something like this.  Brucee
chastised me by saying, ``couldn't that be done in like, an hour?''  Well,

I have the code somewhere in my directory.  Maybe I'll clean it up and
post it when I get some of the myriad things off of my plate.
