Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm reading a book titled "The Unix Programming Environment", and have noticed that a few of the commands that the book gives examples for such as cs, pick, what, and where are either not in the basic FBSD installation package or have a different meaning (the book says that what "tells who's logged on and what they are doing", while the man page for what says that it's used to "show what versionf of object modules were used to construct a file."). The book's examples are based upon 7th Edition Unix, but the authors claim that the examples have also been tested out on 4.1BSD unix with minor modifications. Unfortunately, with some of the programs that their examples rely upon missing, it has been difficult to make those minor modifications. :) I have tried looking around in the man pages but to no avail. Is there a package I can install to get these missing programs or find their renamed equivalents?
