I only wish the Windows version understood sam -r...

Is it because of a lack of rsh?  Because one of the things I do
with sam is tweak it to use ssh instead. I imagine the same could
be done easily enough with the windows version.

There isn't anything about the underlying structure of sam -r that
would fail under windows right?  From what I remember of the book
Rob co-authored (Practice of Programming) they talk a lot about how
to get around things like endian problems.

yes, it is.  i'd code it for a copy of the windows sam
source and the right price.

it's not hard to do.  i wrote rsh/rcmd/... and all that
crap for '95 years ago.  i don't have the code 'cos it
belongs to the client.  thing is, you need a thread for
stdin, cos winsock won't let you select on a anything but
a socket.

bit like sys Vr3.

You know, I never have been able to figure out what a `key grip' or a
`best boy' *is*.  Perhaps non-computer people can't figure out what a
sys admin is.  Sometimes I wonder myself.

We have a version that does.  Watch this space; we'll see if we
can package it up for dissemination.
