This is a shell experiment, to test pipes and forks. Made to satisfy the requirements of CSCI 3453 Lab 1 As written by Joshua Underwood. This software is free, and as such is licenced GPLv3 or later. not that you'd want to recycle this code.
It is known that the < operator does not work, and neither do pipes.
for some reason, grep, and wc cause a crash when called with a pipe. so be aware. I'm sure that this is because I have not yet figured out a proper way to do pipes.
otherwise go crazy.
