	One way to reverse lines in a file is to use revgrep(1).

	Revgrep was posted to net.sources by yours truly about 3
weeks ago.  It does a grep, backwards, so 

	% revgrep '^' file.dat

reverses the lines of  file.dat.  Revgrep has no length limits.
If anyone missed revgrep on net.sources and would like a copy, 
I will be glad to mail it (or even re-post).
