I doubt it, if all one gets is a 50-75% performance improvement. As far as I can tell, the need for linecut isn't great enough to justify the hassle of maintaining it. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
