<p> The Unix toolkit was created in the <b>1970s</b> and is a mainstay to this
|
|
day. Miller is written in plain C, and its look and feel adheres closely to
|
|
the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy">classic toolkit
|
|

Likewise, since commands are subcommands of the <code>mlr</code> executable,
|
|
the result is a <b>band</b>, if you will, of command-line tools. Put these
|

|
|
Band</a>.</p>

<p> (Additionally, and far more prosaically ... just as a miller is someone who
