Why not port the utilities to M? Given that there is already a GT.M, it would make sense to use it. For example, in our own automated regression test suite, we are slowly changing use of awk, grep, etc. to GT.M programs and program fragments. The %XCMD utility program makes it very handy to write programs right in the shell command line.
