A while back I considered writing some of the unix commands (and
perhaps basic shell scripting) in cross-platform ruby, but decided it
wasn't especially useful. Are people interested in that? Would anyone
be willing to help. I'm kind of busy right now, but if there's
demand...

The basic idea was:

$ruby -- rubyunix.rb 'fmt story.unformatted.txt > story.txt'

$ruby -- rubyunix.rb -f 'c:/path/to/unix/shell/script'
