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 Tom -- Dr. Thomas Baker Thomas.Baker@bi.fhg.de Institutszentrum Schloss Birlinghoven mobile +49-171-408-5784 Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft work +49-30-8109-9027 53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany fax +49-2241-144-1408 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
