Sorry, I was running off at the keyboard and forgot to check this: # /bin/sed -V GNU sed version 2.05 > mawk.lrp is available, as is diff.lrp.

I agree that [mn]*awk is a luxury that may not be warranted in a base system. However, to manage the running system, it may be prudent to monitor changes to that running system, especially since one of the primary reasons for that system is to guard and protect the rest of the network on which it resides. In that spirit, I believe that real sort, cmp and possibly diff are warranted. > But cmp? Who needs that?
