did you find the code snippets in the dmr collage a tad strange:

	http://economist.com/images/20040612/UNIX.jpg

?

i'll tell you where they are from (google's working now):

(the topmost entry, check the screenshots) but i can't tell you why
they were used instead of some trivial C code...  filePro for SCO
UNIX?  wtf indeed!
