Program for both win98/dos and Linux

dpkg status history...how much is too much?

In the spirit of "Ignorance is the path to wisdom" please bear with me. Discovering the ambiguities in certain file size accountings under Unix/Linux (re: earlier post where du and ls gave vastly different results for both /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/faillog) led me to inspect /var more closely.
