Heh.  Let's see what I once wrote for AIPS... (and yes, Adrian, I
stole your shell prompt)

  : samhain_pmurphy; pwd
  /export/users/aipsmgr/31DEC06/SYSTEM/UNIX/PERL
  : samhain_pmurphy; find . -type f -exec wc -l {} \; | sort -nr | head -2
  3708 ./PERL/install.pl
  3583 ./INSTALL/INSTEP1
  : samhain_pmurphy;

Granted, others have embellished (slightly) what I did but the line
count is still about the same.  INSTEP1 was very generic bourne shell
that was likely to run correctly on a gazillion different OS's
(Solaris, SunOS, OSF/1, HP-UX, SG-Irix, AIX, Linux, even FreeBSD); the
install.pl script was its successor.

Sorry, I know this is getting way off-topic.  As penance I'll go hunt
for an Ubuntu package for grip :-D
