* Textutils is obsolete. Textutils-6.9 does not exist in the world. * Which programs do you include into textutils? If you decide to include the same programs as textutils-2.1 does and exclude others, users will probably complain that base64 is not included in textutils but in coreutils. I'm afraid textutils is still known better than coreutils. * Worse, link, unlink and stat first appeared at fileutils-4.1.9, which is an unstable release. The first stable release including these programs is coreutils-5.0. Do you include them in fileutils or coreutils? * "The commands where there is no corresponding system command" does not make sense. System commands tend to increase. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
