An excellent example of a UNIX system software tool, it has a simple model and delegates most of its work to other commands. By dealing with general relationships between files and commands, make easily adapts to diverse applications. This generality, however, has become a handicap when compared with specialized integrated programming environments. Integrated environments are collections of... (Update)
