Lines: 17 I'm responsible for 3 CCI 6/32s that run SysV (CCI's rel. 2.22). I'm looking for replacements for some of the utils that I'm used to with BSD. head: the opposite of 'tail'. Shouldn't be hard to implement this in c, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thought this was part of 'std' unix, but its not in my sys's docs. yes: pipe the output to some other program that expects 'y' or 'n'. I've got a file full of 'y\n' that essentially duplicates yes's function, but it doesn't seem as neat as yes. nroff: I realize that this has been unbundled (dwb?) from SysV. I still need to format man pages. Our OA sys can handle virtually all my formatting needs, except for nroff -man. Maybe this could be a GNU application some day? Anybody have an alternate source for this useful stuff? Thanks,
