[Tutor] Truncate First Line of File

[Alex Ezell]

Thanks to everyone for the help. My coworker seems to really prefer
doing it via some system call.

She seems to think it's possible quickly with csplit, which I've never
used. I'll be investigating it in the morning, because she's really
good at what she does. :)
