Hello all, as you might have already known, I'm working on the BSD-licensed versions of these utilities, porting them from OpenBSD and complete the functionality. Still, I have a lot to do, but here's a little bit of status report: grep: - Implemented --label - Implemented --null - Implemented -D / --devices - Implemented -H / --with-filename - Implemented --version - Eliminate warnings - style(9) cleanup sort: - Added support for long command line options - Implemented -S / --buffer-size - Implemented --version - Eliminate warnings - style(9) cleanup diff: - Implemented --version - Eliminate warnings - style(9) cleanup Apart from the missing features, they should work fine, you can try it via the bsdgrep, bsdsort and bsddiff ports in the textproc category. These ports create bsd* and gnu* symlinks for the easier testing. If any of you could use these ports and report the possible problems, that would be cool. Cheers, Gábor Kövesdán
