I agree with Bill Wolfe about the quoted statements in the "BUGS" sections of the man pages. Try to pretend you are a manager is a customer shop who is looking at the man pages before investing your company's money in Unix based systems. While I like humor, these sections are very poor customer relations. The C/Unix community is not alone in making this mistake but that is not a reason to continue making mistakes or refrain from correcting past mistakes where possible. Not looking at documents from the customer perspective is one of the marks of engineers. We all need to improve in this area. Jerome Vollborn (Jerome_Vollborn@cup.portal.com or uunet!lci386!jerome)
