ARPAVAX:UNKNOWN:G:inp (10/21/82)
For a long time I have kept a Unix Wish List, usually new features that I would like in existing commands, occasionally new tools. I could occasionally find a person working on 4BSD to mail them to, but I lamented that they would never be given consideration by the Bell folks who release vanilla Unix. The net seems a perfect forum to present (and refine) such proposals, in full view of those who might implement them (or may even now be working on them). Is there an appropriate newsgroup for such ideas and requests? If not, I propose net.wishlist or maybe net.wish.bell and net.wish.?bsd if they need to be segregated. My current top item is to have refer put back into system 3 (4, 5?). Why was it taken out. Is there a replacement? As usual, I will summarize comments for the net. Bob Tidd ucbvax!g:inp
