Hi Rho`n

Hi Rho`n,

Very interesting episode. I did a quick search and learnt that besides xargs, grep, sort and wc can receive null-terminated input via the '-z' option. Also it seems that tar can handle null-terminated filenames by the use of '--null'. Certainly more to explore for me :)

Regards oxo
