67 is not young.

It is when you got 80+ year-old Presidents and doddering Congressmen.

Anyway, I never got experience on IBM mainframes, just on DEC machines.

Do you want a spell checker with that?

Pipe it to

xxd -r -ps -u | iconv -f EBCDIC-CP-US -t ascii | aspell -pipe list | fmt


(unix pipes can be such fun)

Okay, I give up.

1. How does that relate to EBCDIC?
2. What is the "-c4-" step doing?

(I have no programs on my path that start with "-". I do have a few that
end with "-".)

I think the OP dropped a word - "cut -c4-" would make it
drop the first 3 characters of each line.
