>Release: FreeBSD 4.2-BETA-20001104 i386
>Organization:
lacking
>Environment:
Nothing special. Mixed Unix environment where portability of scripts
is desired.
>Description:
I think the nl program was one of the programs stripped out of the
4.4BSD-lite distribution. Since then a new nl has been written and
can be found in at least NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use HP-UX and write shell scripts to aid in debugging a program.
Use nl in said scripts. Then try to run the scripts on FreeBSD.
Be disappointed.
>Fix:
Grab NetBSD's nl wholesale.
