Subject:UNIX ONLY utilities for Tech Writers From:David Blyth <dblyth -at- QUALCOMM -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 11 Apr 1996 11:54:11 -0700
>What utilities do you Unix-folk love to use?
VI! Also grep, SED, and C-shell scripts. UNIX
is one nasty OS - you can do virtually _anything_
you want if you don't mind writing crypic
scripts and/or learning Perl.
>Mind you, I hate text interfaces
Well, OK. I admit that I'm an old-fogie command line lover.
So you can get most or all of the above via EMACS and Motif.
