Oh come on Rob, you should know that for anyone over the age of 50,
the moment you see 'dd' your brain automatically switches to JCL
mode.

Rob doubtless got IBM out of his system back in the
late 1970s, when I think he was one of the authors
of a shell that brought the TSO experience to Unix.

I feel like I would somehow be remiss if I did not point out that the

I will confess to thinking CMS Pipelines are pretty cool.
