jcord, I really like your hypercube mall terminal idea, but alas I fear
it will run slowly on my Commodore-64 :-(
Mr Shuttleworth's grep --universe idea is a far more pragmatic solution for us
users who can't afford the latest Cray
supercomputer to do our grepping with.
For the moment I have a simple shell script wrapper to workaround the bug:
___________
!#/bin/sh
# terminal-ad (C) 1984 akeane conglomerates Inc
# LICENSE: One of the GPL thingies, full text here: http:// interwebz, don't
steal this code and post to BBS!!!
if [$USER != "root"]
then
echo "Warning: Must be Mark!"
exit :-(
fi
telnet www.amazon.com 80 &
<<<HERE
get #hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=$*
>>>THERE
exec $*
___________
Granted, it's not very elegant or even works, but it'll do for now, it's
gonna take ages to patch all of the GNU tools!
