probably going back to the original FreeBSD 3.3 installation on the=20
machine. I've run libchk to get a list of unreferenced libraries, but I=20
wanted to ask before I throw myself to the mercy of my backup tape: is=20

=20
installworld and deleted all commands more than a month old or so, the=20
logic being that any commands not updated by world are remnants that can be=
=20
purged. Is that a reasonable assumption?
