Well that's good to know. Been a while since I looked at that part of
the handbook. This is one of the things I like least about doing
development work on the sun's at work. I finally broke down and
installed a bunch of the gnu tools and such on the one box I do most of
my work on because not having those things (like diff, grep, RCS) was
seriously slowing me down.
Oh well, enough of this. Thanks for clarifying Bill.
