Just out of curiosity, I note that you (Paul) say that "pr" is "obsolete".
This surprises me, since I still use it every day. I find that, like a lot of the old style Unix utilities, it does what it says it does and that's good enough for me. In other words, you might then say the same thing (that it is "obsolete") about a lot of the old Unix utils - things like "join", "comm", "uniq", "cut", even "sed" for that matter. AWK (for example) can do anything/everything that all of these utils do, so why keep them around (one might ask) ? ================================================================================= Please do not send me replies to my posts on the list. I always read the replies via the web archive, so CC'ing to me is unnecessary. Note that they always end up in my Spam file anyway, so it is annoying to have to periodically clean that out.
