It's available on the GNU/Linux distribution I happen to use on this machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which banner /usr/games/banner [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S /usr/games/banner bsdmainutils: /usr/games/banner I'd rather that it didn't get moved into coreutils. The software in coreutils is (largely) vital for the operation of the system. There are exceptions (vdir, shred, stat, ptx, tac. factor and pinky are unlikely to compromise operation of the system if they aren't installed) but in the main coreutils is a collection of core utilities. The banner program just isn't vital. I'd rather not bloat an already quite large project with something fun but inessential like "banner". (Having said this, of course it's not my decision) James. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
