Hi Peter, I'm only replying to your mail because you're the last person to mention portability as a case againsdt NetBSD's test(1). Just how many other platforms need to support an _extension_ that is _fully_ backward compatible before we'll consider implementing it? With this attitude driving us, we'll end up being the only OS that doesn't support a number of fetures, all in the name of portability. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
