Not very quickly, actually. The only (separate) release of tcpslice was on 23 January 1997 (it used to be bundled with tcpdump). As for tcpdump, it was last modified on 25 July 1998, with the last release taking place on 30 November 1996 (about half a dozen beta versions between those two, however). Kris Kennaway suggested that that it'd be a good idea to update what's in /usr/src, which I'll look into if no one else gets around to this first. From a very cursory inspection, there are no major changes in functionality. For some reason, it just didn't occur to me that tcpslice would be in the base distribution, since not a whole lot of people (IMHO) have use for its functionality. Thanks!
