Heh was just a joke

but yeah cat (catonate) from memory put text together somehow. It could also read files for example you can tell cat to send a text file to unities (and possibly) gnomes baked in pdf and svg reader.

cat man.pdf   && man.pdf | ghostreader

or in a real example before the power converter from my del went caboom

cat midgerm2_dileverables.ai |&& ghostwriter | > midtert2.svg

(Or something like that this is going from memory and very off topic at this point ) would ask bash. Can you open that file so as you dump a AdobeIustrator format SVG  onto ghosterwriter and then try to make a normal svg file because someone (me) was being a perfectionist and wants to make sure that we're taking the right one to the school printing labs.

I don't know what realy cool magic cat did to ghoster writer was able to open a copy of a school midterm do in a few days. T
