2: So far the only printing program we have seen
3: is "cat", which just copies one or more files
4: onto the terminal (or perhaps onto a file when used
5: with ">").
6: The next step up is the program "pr", which
7: prints files so that each file begins on a
8: new page, and the top of each page contains the date
9: and time the file was changed, and a running page number.
10: Use a single "pr" to print the two files in this directory
11: whose names begin with "fed".
12: What page number is printed on the last page? Type "answer N"
13: where N is the page number.
14: #create fed1
15: After an unequivocal experience of the inefficacy of
16: the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to
17: deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States
18: of America. The subject speaks its own importance;
19: comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the
20: existence of the union, the safety and welfare of the
21: parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many
22: respects the most interesting in the world.
23: #create fed2
24: It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been
25: reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and
26: example, to decide the important question, whether
27: societies of men are really capable or not of establishing
28: good government from reflection and choice, or whether
29: they are forever destined to depend for their political
30: constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth
31: in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with
32: propriety be regarded as the era in which that
33: decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part
34: we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as
35: the general misfortune of mankind.
