TOO MANY FILES AROUND 
In case there are too many
 files in a particular
 directory.  When the
 following is executed:
 
 $grep "ABC" *
 
 And it fails saying with
 
 ksh: /usr/bin/find: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long.
 
 what would you do?
 
 Well you can do the following:
 
 $ls |xargs grep "ABC"
