Yep. Vi, grep (and egrep), sed, cat, more, et cetera... God, I love Unix/Linux... (although VMS had its good points).

although VMS had its good points To a Unix bigot like myself, VMS, well, sucks. (To be fair, it has been 10 years since I've been on a VMS box). I hated the way it always tried to be helpful by peering into, and converting between file formats. That is an application responsibility, not an operating system responsibility. I often used to wish for a "/just-leave-it-the-hell-alone" option!
