  |  Slashdot // Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther sympleko (Matthew Leingang) writes "In Neal Stephenson's manifesto In the Beginning was the Command Line, he writes about his favorite command-line utility: wc. As simple as can be, wc counts characters, words, and lines in a file. There's no GUI analogue, perhaps because anybody tempted to make one would add too many "features" that cluttered its ease of use. Think: do you know how to count the words in a Word file? BBEdit is a little easier, if you know the button to click." Read on for Leingang's review of Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther, which seeks to reconcile the conception of user friendliness in OS X's Aqua with the sometimes-denigrated command line. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/12/206212 |
