Doing it automatically is an interesting question. I don't know how, but
maybe there is a way in TPU - an "on something changed event". I don't
think anyone wanted to do that back then (late 80's early 90's), but
with todays CPU's then why not.

I took a look at the TPU manual. It does not look like there
is anything smart for this.

Nothing in the TPU manual, but something in the TPU$ manual.
 This is not pretty, but it seems to work.

Code updated to fix a few issues (not supporting
empty file, having to explicit specify "tpu" as
argument).
