I apologize for giving people the wrong impression --- I was not bashing GNU
at all (I'm one of the people doing GNU Awk, for heaven's sake). I *was*
bashing on bash, but this is the rc mailing list, where small is beautiful,
and bash is neither.
There are, or course, some excellent GNU programs, and I use many of them.
And I probably should have looked at shellutils, but my poor home machine
doesn't have an internet connection (yet :-). Apologies again; last word
on the subject from me.
Arnold
