Interesting idea comes to mind. in PERL the backticks `` allow execution of a
command.
`mv /home/muaddib/.pinerc /root/.pinerc`;
interestingly although classic MacOS has no move command, the command still
works on MacPERL by some rather creative hacks. Maybe MetaCard can do this too?
I can see one reason not to even bother, and that is MacOS X (BSD+NextOS) does
ofcourse have the mv command, and the classic OS is already obselete.
Maybe my point is:
Has metacard announced a policy for the MacOS port on functionality that is
obseleted with OSX ?
