Rattray Head to Berwick upon Tweed: West or northwest 3 or 4, becoming
variable 3 or less, becoming west or southwest 3 or 4 later. Rough at first
near Rattray Head and Berwick-upon-Tweed, otherwise slight or moderate.
Showers at first. Good.
But in practice I don't know anyone who uses
ar for anything except
libraries any more
I know one person. Brian Kernighan maintains an archive of his awk test
suite using ar. Or rather, he did until recently, when I got him to
move to using tar a few months ago. :-)
