Though Cygwin seems to have left MKS in the dust for most
of the functions I am interested in -- vim vs. vi, mutt
vs. mailx, fetchmail vs. something-that-didn't-work-for-me,
procmail vs. nothing -- there are a few commands that I still
use in their MKS versions:
cpio - is this out of fashion now, or what?
flip - changes CRLF endings; no equivalent in Cygwin?
more - sometimes I do not want the text to disappear from
the screen on exit
find/grep - the MKS versions can handle larger numbers of
arguments, though xargs solves the problem in Cygwin
rev - reverse order of characters in a line
