Not necessarily. The point of open source is that someone can copy your

Since POSIX already says you have to be

This is to announce coreutils-8.10, a stable release.
There have been some minor bug fixes, along with two new features. The
join feature is enabled via a new option, -o auto. The cp feature makes
copying sparse files much more efficient on several common file systems.
It takes advantage of a

Hi!
I want to generate pseudo-random integers from a shell, and I wonder if
coreutils can be used to do that. I really like randint.c , and I
basically want a shell front end to randint_choose. Or is there a
standard way to do this I am not aware of?

I think I want to write a utility that prints pseudo-random
integers (I have in CL, but I like it fast, so this time in C),
and link it with coreutils. I looked at Paul Eggert's work,
and I won't be able to do any better than that if I spend

I am confused by the connection of using the shell on one hand and by
saying you need speed on the other. The shell is quite fast and good

Thank you for your replies guys, I'm sorry we both managed to miss it.
The wording is a bit on the odd side but it is fine the way it is.
Sorry I wasted your time and thanks for making this wonderful system
