Thank you for your elegant and witty response.

The POSIX sub-system of Windows NT 4+ is POSIX-compliant to some degree. 
This is not the same as saying that the whole of Windows is 
POSIX-compliant. It means that people who write applications using that 
subsytem can achieve the same result as if the app was being run on a *x 
platform. This is as wonderful and as useless as tits on a bull. So what 
do you do if you redirect stdout to a file and a user complains that 
Notepad won't grok it? Teach him/her to use vi[m]?
