"He who doesn't comprehend UNIX is destined
to redesign it poorly."
Does anybody know the origin of this quote?
Henry Spencer. He also said "If you lie to the compiler, it will get its
revenge", which I think is pretty funny, too. Oh, yeah...and his 10
Commandments of C Programmers is gospel. Helluva guy.

Zane: Yes, it is true that many people think that modern OS's should
follow Unix' path. I'll agree with you in that Unix is not the only
sensible model, and I'll even concede that OpenVMS is another such
model. But you'll have to work to persuade me that DCL is cool.
