ENHANCED #1576 FILE REVERSAL 
This is an enhancement to
 UNIX Tip #1576 - April 25, 2001.
 
 The original tip is kind a
 cool, so I decided to enhance it.
 
 I hope it's okay with the main author.
 
 #!/bin/ksh
 lns=`wc -l $1 | nawk '{ print $1 }`
 {
 cat $1 | awk '{ line[NR] = $0; }
 { for (i = NR; i > 0; --i) print line[i] }'
 } >> $$.temp
 tail -"$lns" $$.temp
 rm $$.temp

 FILE REVERSAL
 
 For those that don't have
 the tac command, to reverse
 a file in UNIX, you could use:
 
 cat  | awk '{ line[NR] = $0;} END
 {for(i=NR;i>1;i--) print line[i] }'
