Could be. I'm definitely a 90s-and-later unix kid. I wonder when -0 was added to `find` Edit: The quote is actually from the Unix haters handbook, published in 1994. I don't remember too many horrors with spaces in filenames from back then, but, er, it's been a while. find | xargs was a known problem case but that's why it got -0. Most of the rest was the familiar horrors of shell scripting.
