<BR>-- THE ABC'S OF UNIX
<BR>
<BR>A is for awk, which runs like a snail, and
<BR>B is for biff, which reads all your mail.
<BR>C is for cc, as hackers recall, while
<BR>D is for dd, the command that does all.
<BR>E is for emacs, which rebinds your keys, and
<BR>F is for fsck, which rebuilds your trees.
<BR>G is for grep, a clever detective, while
<BR>H is for halt, which may seem defective.
<BR>I is for indent, which rarely amuses, and
<BR>J is for join, which nobody uses.
<BR>K is for kill, which makes you the boss, while
<BR>L is for lex, which is missing from DOS.
<BR>M is for more, from which less was begot, and
<BR>N is for nice, which it really is not.
<BR>O is for od, which prints out things nice, while
<BR>P is for passwd, which reads in strings twice.
<BR>Q is for quota, a Berkeley-type fable, and
<BR>R is for ranlib, for sorting ar table.
<BR>S is for spell, which attempts to belittle, while
<BR>T is for true, which does very little.
<BR>U is for uniq, which is used after sort, and
<BR>V is for vi, which is hard to abort.
<BR>W is for whoami, which tells you your name, while
<BR>X is, well, X, of dubious fame.
<BR>Y is for yes, which makes an impression, and
<BR>Z is for zcat, which handles compression.
