I would think it would also be bad for Mike. Afterall, there ARE shell 
utilities in existence which Mike didn't write (heaven forbid!). Can you
say APW C? Gee, it doesn't use GS/OS console drivers..what happens if I
compile something under APW/C while using Orca/Shell 2.0?

For those who are interested, I just finished completely patching the text
tools for the GNO project, it is now running 2 to 3 times faster than
fasttext. It has to be seen to believed...
