Yep. That is a very interesting article.
Though I do think that some of what Tavis did was borderline
exceptional. I don't know many people that would consider writing their
own object utility to do things. But this just goes to show what is
possible if you are willing to do so.
The audience here may enjoy the read, and maybe it is
of use when
reviving other old application software for 1980’s and 1990’s Unix.
I've filed it away for future reference for this very reason.
