I guess one of the the things I wonder every now and then is whether we really should be keeping standard as implying a ... traditional/historical/whatever Unix system, with pr and lpr and tcsh and bc and dc and whatever else that people would traditionally expect, instead of moving them to a task that can be installed only by people who actually know what they are, and then making sure we provide a real Unix system in that case. But by the looks of things there's still not much need for a change there, at least at this point. Cheers, aj
