            It's too slow and too big.

    I think that's just a Bell Labs pissing contest. Over there your macho-
    ness as a programmer is measured in inverse proportion to the number
    of lines of code you produce for a given task. My money says Duff's rc
    is smaller and faster than any than ksh, bash, etc. :-)

and what a FINE measure of a programmer's competence!
