1) I like the change because it's more extensible. 2) Can't help you
with a better name, sorry. 3) I don't worry to much about the tag-name
change either.

As you do in:

And, btw., on this Suse-box:

  % which netcat
  /usr/bin/netcat

And nc is the nedit-thing. (You asked for this, right? OR was it
