Well, I said *n*x. Which means most definitely not Windows.
Of course you can install vim on Windows, but did it come with it? I think not.
Also if you bother to check, you'll find cut in Solaris and Linux.
And more than likely on the Mac as well - assuming it is relatively new.
I suggest you check how long I've been using Unix before you decide to embark
on the "let's discredit the wog"caper. Is that clear or do I have to use
smaller words?
