GOK what the suits have done to >the manuals shipped with commercial versions of Unix. I understand that AT&T has removed them from their system. The people I worked with on AIX v3 at IBM were very insistent on keeping as many of the games as possible, including a few which required bug fixes to the code when we were supposed to be working on more important things ... Many of the games programs, such as fortune, are such a part of UNIX that I can scarcely imagine anyone actually removing them. -- John F.
