  Log:
  Add a stunningly useful utility.
  
  if you ever nhave needed to do something like:
  tar cf - <big_dir> | rsh cat > /dev/tape then you will appreciate this.
  
  do something like
  
  tar cf - <big_dir> | buffer | rsh othersys "cat  | buffer > /dev/tape"
  to enjoy HUGE increases in speed while your tape drive does not
  incessantly back/forth/stop/start.
