The ALL utility processes lists of file names and other input data in a
variety of ways.

ALL can manipulate and/or execute input records received via a pipe,
from an input file, or from the console.

The ALL utility enables you to execute one or more operating system
commands on all files in a given list of files. Single file
specification portions may be used and manipulated for flexible
processing.

Optionally, ALL creates a command file containing commands as well as
user input required by interactive kinds of programs.

In addition to creating command files ALL can also produce a normal data
file. Thus you can also use it to perform different kinds of textual
transformations on files.

Programs as well as user defined fields found in the records of the
input file can be used to construct commands for execution or to produce
data files. In this respect, ALL can be a faster and easier to use
substitute for programs such as AWK or Perl whenever its more limited
facilities are sufficient for your purposes.

This ALL evaluation kit will not process more than 50 input records in
a single run. Thus you have a fair chance to test it and see whether it
meets your needs.

Special requirements: None.
