Yes, maybe, no. gzip should be fine. grep is largely compatible with GNU grep but offers worse performance. Apparently much worse in some corner cases. diff lacks a lot of the extensions from the GNU version which everybody takes for granted, e.g. no -p, -x, or -I, and there's no sdiff. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
