Err, Umm Is this a BSD only utility?
As far as I know [:-) .forward (??) files are not used on system V.

Has there been any attempt to identify items which are:
	1. BSD only
	2. System V only
	3. Able to function anywhere after possibly a few mods.
	4. Other ?
	
Persons posting sources could at least indicate systems known to
work and possibly support features required (like .forward files).
(Maybe I should read the headers more closely - but just because
something was developed under BSD doesn't mean it can't work under
System V, et al.
