Subject: Re: Speaking of counting...
So far jot and seq have been mentioned, (every machine I have available
says "jot not found" though... and ditto seq) but no specifics,
I have been accused of wanting to reinventing the wheel, (exactly what
I was trying to avoid)
Scott has shared some perl code, (Euw! The evil anit-rc!) ;-) (Thank
you.)
I swear I've seen this in rc/awk before...
