Reading over the materials you sent, I note that we still need answers to these questions from February: << The reason that "get -l" is not implemented at in CSSC the moment is simply that no specification exists for the format of the output and the Unix documentation doesn't state how the -l and -lp options interact with the other possible options to the "get" command. For example, what's the precise effect of "-l -e", and how does "-lp" interact with the "-g" and "-p" options? There are likely to be other cases where the behaviour needs to be specified, too. >> Also, I wrote: << So, if you would like to document that in sufficient detail to make it possible to implement the feature, I'm happy to write the code implementing the options you need. >> We still don't have any documentation for this, though. (You did provide me with part of a Tru64 Unix manual page, but obviously the FSF cannot distribute that, we need documentation which is not copied or derived from that information). Meanwhile, I'm making a start on the code. I hope you will see some changes in the CVS tree (http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=cssc). To finish the code changes, we need more information though. And to make a release containing those code changes, we need documentation.
