And I think the original poster's point is that uniq and comm are not Unix
utilities - they just happen to be available on Unix.  If I remember correctly,
the first versions of these tools I ever saw were written in RatFor and
the book was written before Unix was even regularly available to anyone
outside the academic community.

The GNU software likewise is available on Windows, Mac, Unix, VMS, and
other OS platforms.  One need not suffer with a limited set of tools provided
by the vendor when so much free software that will compile and run on
the platform is available.
