I am silly. This vestigial code is still in OpenStudio, for "Radiance Classic"
calcs with a continuous sky:
catCommand = "cat"
if /mswin/.match(RUBY_PLATFORM) or /mingw/.match(RUBY_PLATFORM)
catCommand = "type"
end
system("#{catCommand} ./numeric/#{space_name}.map | rtrace #{rtrace_args} …")
In this case, this really seemed to be the most direct way in. In any event,
!type would be the true one-for-one replacement for !cat when porting Mark's
scene to windoze.
