`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.
