[plug] bash script program help

[Jon Miller]

That would be good but all I have is the pseudo code in plain english and my diagram.  I have not laid down the coding yet only bits that I'm testing on CLI.  The first part is to read in the file (which I just finished generating).  Now I'm googling to find out how to read in a file and do file size comparisons.

This doesn't sound too difficult (unless I'm overlooking something). Why don't
you send us what you have so far so we can see where things are going awry for
you? =)
