[comp.sys.alliant] Missing UNIX commands "cut"

tong@rscene.hac.com (Kevin Tong) (09/12/90)

I've have been discovering that Concentrix 5.5 seems to
be missing some standard UNIX commands that many
utility shell program use.

ONE of the most important one is 
	"cut"

Am I just missing this on my system and can someone
send me a copy to use.

Thanks.

It's missing because "cut" is a System V command, and Concentrix is BSD.
I'm not commenting on whether it should or should not be included, I'm
just saying that it's not currently distributed on any release of
Concentrix.
