Re: Goodbye everyone!

Sorry to see you go. Thanks for your contributions! I've used BSD systems and enjoyed them. The licensing difference was interesting, but not a real factor to me. More attractive was that one group (FreeBSD) manages the whole ball of wax: kernel, system utilities and end-user packaging, so that the ...

New posts

Interview with Featherpad author in Full Circle Magazine (p. 44) https://dl.fullcirclemagazine.org/issue150_en.pdf The interview was done early in 2019, but only appears now, so some references are a little out of date.

Re: Why do some shell built-ins have files?

It's a chicken or the egg question. I believe that first came the separate programs, way way back when UNIX was starting. eg, "echo" was a stand-alone, and not in any shell. Then some shell authors started to include some of these programs' functionality into the shells they were writing. ...

Re: PT-BR Translator

I noticed all the recent work you have done. Thank you. There is no set schedule for inclusions of translations. I keep track of how much work is being done, and when there is enough to justify the effort of rebuilding the apps, then I gather them up and send them off for updating in the apps. So it...

Re: cal -h

The man page is not explicit enough. It looks like the described options apply to both, but: The cal utility displays a simple calendar in traditional format and ncal offers an alterna‐ tive layout, more options and the date of Easter. It then gives the details for all the options mixed together. So...
