cat is a common utility on Unix systems, however, it is not
universally available. On Windows systems, resort to cmd (%COMSPEC%)
as the shell interpreter is guaranteed to be present. It stands to
reason that sh would be a viable alternative to cat as that is the
default (POSIX) shell interpreter on Unix systems and should be present
on any SuS or POSIX complaint system.
