Well, I am sure there are details I do not know... but with the file I am
speaking about you need either a modern web browser or the Numbers program.
Nothing more (assuming you have those things actually running on your system
with all that they need!)

Not sure what word game you are trying to play. Can you get more specific?

And even with those other programs to tie into sc and support your scripts,
as far as I know nothing comes close to what I have shown you. Your solution
surely does not.

And, again, the disclaimer for those with egos tied to Linux and the tools
who run on it and who need this: this does NOT mean sc does not have
benefits Numbers does not, does not mean Numbers is the best tool for major
number crunching or even for other more mundane tasks, etc. I am in no way
putting your work down (to the contrary I admire it) nor putting sc or bash
down (they are fine tools).

A shame such disclaimers are needed in COLA... but, so be it.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
