It hasn't. I for one regularly use it with the old name and I know I have scripts lying about using it with that name. > I propose to harvest the fruit of this effort and introduce a /usr/bin/open > command to open files. Please don't, or if you insist, get kbd to stop shipping it, wait for at least two releases and then introduce it with a new name. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
