Hi John,

Based on the transcription this list did of Tim O'Reilly's ‘Unix Text
Processing’ — now only available second hand, https://amzn.to/3bkamGb —
perhaps an shared effort to switch would work for the info source?

- The hard part would be to agree the destination format.
- Code 90% of the translation, tinkering with the info source where
  needed to make the code easier.
- Fix up the remaining 10% by hand as a shared effort.

Cheers, Ralph.
