New /me/bangs head on floor
bsd man page indicated by example dash required, 1979 unix hard copy shows no such animal. In Xenix dash required, forpro another unix/bsd mix dash required prime MIPS unix dash required unix no dash needed linux eithr or sys5 either or. Evolution at work.
thanx,

and everywhere the great Curse of the New World, the American Child, in all its raucous, spoiled, undiciplined, selfish ghastliness, the female specimens keeping up an incessant high-pitched whine and the male infants racketing like cowpokes on payday. There's nothing wrong with grown Americans, by and large you wont find heartier men or bonnier women anywhere, but the only remedy I can see for the children is to run Herod for President.
