Rick has a 3000 line sys file and 3 or 4 500 line shell scripts. He is
not about to verify that each and every option or flag he is using
was considered important enough to include.

None of the existing flags/options is that obscure. If you want
other people to run C news, then you have to give them some degree
of comfort that their old scripts will continue to run.

Lets do it the other way. What flag/option did you intentionally leave
out because it was useless.
