Man Pages (and commands) that should be part of Unix
When bitching on a.s.r,
some of us have authored the man pages we really
wish were included in unix (with their associated commands). We truely
are a twisted lot, and these contributions help to prove the point.
The whole lot can be obtained as the
a.s.r man page
distribution tar file. The pages have been troff formatted, so
you can install them at your site. This is encouraged.
