I often thought that a cat could be named /bin/cat. After all, many cats seem to enjoy being in boxes or bins!

You're likely aware of this, and certainly Don is, but for those unaware, PIP was the RSX-11 and CP/M equivalent to /bin/cat.

I'm going to name my next cat after my favorite Apple ][ DOS command:

]CATALOG

And my next dog after the way you warm restart DOS after you hit RESET with Integer Basic ROMs and get thrown into Woz's system monitor:

*3D0G

And his brothers /bin/bzcat, /bin/pacat, /bin/netcat and /bin/sqfscat.
