Hi everyone. I'm a short-time UNIX user (I
started in 1981 :)
and also a columnist for Linux Magazine (in the US: not the UK
flavour). I just came across TUHS while I was searching for a
V7 cp(1) manpage. (I found it, BTW, via Warren Toomey's page
http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/projects/Ancient_Unix/Documentation/PUPS/manpag….)
I'm writing a series of columns on "What's GNU in Old Utilities".
Heh. This sounds more like "What's Old in GNU Utilities".
It describes new features of GNU utilities like cat(1)
and contrasts
them to "how we used to do it." I'd like to mention TUHS in the
third column, which should be out in August. It seems that TUHS is
alive and well. If any of you have comments or complaints about
that idea, though, would you please let me know before May 1 --
which is when the column is due?
Heh. Thanks for the long warning :-)
I can't speak for Warren, but I'd be surprised if he were not
enthusiastically in favour. I certainly am. Unfortunately, if you
haven't heard from him yet, you probably won't by the submission
deadline.
