   Consider bash scripts with the assistance of sed, awk, grep, and other
tools you already have in your debian installation. The entire UNIX/linux
system is based on small tools each doing one thing very well that can be
assembled like a LEGO kit to do whatever you want.

   Or, get a copy of IBM's PC/DOS 6.0 and run it on an 8088 PC-1.
