Hi,

tac.exe and seq.exe are no longer shipped with wingrass. (I'm not sure if
tac ever was)

I'm pretty sure `seq` used to be there (in msys/bin/?) but it seems to
have gone away.

if it's an easy thing to do, could we install these unix powertools to
msys/bin/ or extrabin/?

thanks,
Hamish

tac and seq aren't specified by POSIX. Any scripts which use them should
be modified to work without them.

Not only is seq trivial to implement as a shell function, I can't find
anything which actually uses it.

The only user of tac appears to be v.in.mapgen, which provides its own
implementation (using awk) as a fallback.

I would expect that users wants to use them in their own scripts, or their
might be used in addons. The fact is that their are used in manual,
however each just once/twice:

{{{
dist.../docs/html $ egrep -Irn "tac " .
./m.cogo.html:169: m.cogo -l in=cogo.dat | tac | awk '
./m.cogo.html:172: END { printf("L %d\n", R) }' | tac | \
}}}

{{{
dist.../docs/html $ egrep -Irn "seq " .
./d.out.gpsdrive.html:139:for i in `seq 1 $panels_ew`;
./d.out.gpsdrive.html:142: for j in `seq 1 $iter`;
}}}

I would just ignore these two.
