the program is trivial to write yourself.  all what(1) does it search for
strings of the form @(#), and print the characters it finds after that
until it reaches a \n, \0 or something else i forget.  the C code has
fewer lines than this article.  (well, not really)  and yes, i have the
source to one.  i believe it is at work.
