Perhaps "existing thing or anticipated thing" (or something like that). One of the conclusions I took away from an earlier discussion was, if (a) there is a common foo(1) in BSD and (b) that foo and a GNU foo are not identical, then (c) selecting /usr/bin/foo will involve controversy. I don't think this case should set the default outcome for such controversies. I'll spin out a new version with Laca's correction, Danek's cases, Stefan's manual page section, Bill's opinion, and this point as well (after a meeting or two). - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems stephen.hahn at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
