[Techtalk] Shell wrapper written in Perl...

[Leslie Simpson]

Yea I'm looking into using the "script" command now. I had no idea it
existed. :) I think I am slowly but surely getting it to do what I want.

I don't have FreeBSD but I was quite sure it ran on BSD. I also met
it on ULTRIX years ago; and the README.script on Linux mentions being
a version of the "BSD program".

I went to http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html and the man pages, picked
the FreeBSD 4.5-stable option, and asked for man pages on 'script'.
It's definitely in the docs, so I presume it's in BSD :)
