Wow. That's some dense, opaque code.

Yes, some folks do care. I do quite a bit of stuff in bash, and the
single, most expert help in the form of good practice teaching was from
Jon LaBadie, on the amanda list. Tricks that I didn't know bash could
do, are both efficient and child's play for Jon. Like me, he's been at
it for a long time, and growing less active on the amanda list.
Me, I make noise just to let folks know the old fart is still around, or
when I need help. My next b-day in about 6 weeks, will be my 86th.
