I'll admit up front to not ever having a good background in these
classic UNIX tools.  Some example script(s) would help me learn them,
that's for sure.  I would like to see an example that sorts by date and
then time--oldest QSO at the beginning of the file to most recent QSO at
the end.

As for an embedded DB, I would like to see the current flat file
supported and perhaps an SQLite option, if Joop is so inclined.  The
SQLite option would probably be considered experimental for a while.  I
can see advantages for each storage medium.
