Well, as the author and contributor of the ``sort -V'' hack
I do have to agree. Since changing glibc is not happening,
I recommend using the putative verrevcmp() in sort(1) inst
Hey, I remember this! There was a long discussion about
SIGCHLD vs. SIGCLD / SysVR4 vs. BSD on the Austin reflector.
"implementations" are now allowed to reset the handler to
SIG_DFL on exec(2), so it is "may not work" not "will not work".
Anyway, the final answer is that all programs that want

Hi,
I had to go grubbing through headers to translate "11" into something
comprehensible one too many times. If this is acceptable, I'll double
my time investment and whip up some .texi verbiage.
I believe my paperwork is in order, but I'm not convinced that this
qualifies as "significant" :-D.

This works for me :)
Either ``-V'' or ``--compare-version'' will trigger the use of
strverscmp in lieu of memcmp as the comparison function.

Hi,
The web bug: the symlink to coreutils.html from index.html is missing
The RFE: I'd like to be able to have a consistent, well-understood
line length from the fmt command:
‘--width=width’
Fill output lines up to width characters (default 75). fmt initially
tries to make lines about 7%
