[HLUG] a useful command

[j michaelson]

i'm sad to say that it's just something i saw on a message board. the
string that echo is piping into dc must mean something, but i don't
know how it works.

i only hope i can resist the urge to give it to someone asking for advice.

must....resist....temptation!

:-)   john.
