Practically every Unix system I've used since about 1990 sports a play
command that simply plays back a file without the need for a special
GUI app -- including Linux. Some of them even had record commands. I
find this very convenient, especially when working with shell scripts
and simple C programs. However, my OS X 10.1 Terminal app (which
emulates a Unix terminal) doesn't do it. Does anyone know if more
recent OS X systems do?
