Congratulations! NetBSD has a BSD sort, I understand it's based on the Minix version, so we are getting very near to cleaning all the utilities from the GPL. I looked at doing sort some time ago, but that was before Minix went BSDL. I also had a almost-complete (missing two functions) version of dc(1), but lost it in a hard-disk crash. I never got around to redoing it. Perhaps I will again soon. Jamie __ Yahoo!

replacing GNU grep with UNIX grep.
Hi guys; I replaced GNU grep with SCO's grep from http://unixtools.sourceforge.net . They are both covered by the same license (GPL) so there might not be any real advantage in the replacement. I haven't compared performance either. Compiling was trivial, I only had to cut and paste one function from stubs.c in their libregexp stuff and it seems to work fine. I just wanted to mention this in case there someone interested in an alternative. cheers, Pedro. __ Yahoo!
