It's a long story, dating back to when the standard mode of operation was to put $PLAN9/bin ahead of the system binaries in your $PATH. In that context it didn't make sense to include tools like du, dd, and grep, because too many programs expected to get the standard tool rather than the Plan 9 one. The 9 script made it easier to live with $PLAN9/bin at the end of the $PATH, so now there's no harm in having those. I've re-enabled dd and du. Russ
