:+1 obviously flattery will always do that, but in the interests of intellectual integrity I should point out that Laurence wrote the Unix Shell entry. I don't understand Walter Pachl's objection as tac rogers.txt does exactly what this task demands.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 14:52, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 
:::I googled tac and see that tac actually accepts several files and "each file" and "separately" then make sense. I wonder, however, who needs this in real life. Rgds. --Walter Pachl 16:35, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

:::from worse to worst: You are not changing the order of lines IN A TEXT FILE!!
"Show the lines of a file in reverse order" sounds perfect!

:::: Nor was I impressed with the '''Bash Tac''' command wordage.   It is slightly confusing with its verbiage   (as how it is (or could be) applied or used as per this Rosetta Code task's requirements.   It would fit better to be placed in the   ''discussion''   page for this task instead of the task's preamble.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:57, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
