Ah, but I like cats :-). Actually, there are lots of things I learnt how
to do one way, and then subsequently found a "more efficient" way of
doing same later. However, in many cases I stuck with my original
pattern - not out of any conscious decision, but just because I never
got round to breaking my original habit. I'm guilty of lots of egregious
catting, but I only pay attention to these sorts of things if I'm
writing shell. And typically my shell scripts are utterly trivial - if
they're not they end up as perl. Is there anyone else out there with
lots of bad habits they know they should shed, but never seem to get
around to?

Mike.
