[OS X TeX] system calls

[Andy White]

I remember seeing zcat used to deflate graphics files on the fly, but it 
was many years ago and I have a mental block as to the syntax.

I would like to be able to use this feature to pipe in shell commands: 
for eg.

...

\begin{tabular}
	`perl table2tex.pl foo.dat` % or whatever the shell escape is
\end{tabular}

Thanks,

Andy White
