   Hi! Wilfred,

   I would guess that the Linux 'story' would be similar to DOS.  For every   
   generation of users there's probably a util to do a similar job, but they each   
   lose relevance and notoriety amongst the population of users.  So, someone   
   invents a new wheel... etc, etc.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
