GENERATE RANGES OF NUMBERS 
Sometimes it is necessary to generate a range of
 numbers for further use within a command pipe or
 shell script. This can be done with some simple
 sh-code:
 
 ------------------------ CUT HERE ------------------
 
 #! /bin/sh
 
 # range - Generate of numbers.
 
 lo=$1
 hi=$2
 
 while [ $lo -le $hi ]
 do
 echo -n $lo " "
 lo=`expr $lo + 1`
 done
 
 ------------------------ CUT HERE ------------------
 
 It can now be used a way like:
 
 for i in `range 69 4711`; do ; done
