I wouldn't expect CP/M to include C anymore than I would expect Unix to include
news.  But if I don't get pip, stat, ddt, ed and submit, then its NOT a complete
CP/M.

Its perfectly reasonable to unbundle and sell Unix in pieces.  But it better be
advertized as such.  The literature for many of the Unix implementations for
micros that I have seen includes a list of what utilities are included.  The
lists didn't include all the utilities that I would like to see in Unix, but
the lists made it very clear on what was and what was not there.  I ask for no
more than this.
