	Has anyone else out there noticed that on the "7300" the
	grep, egrep, and fgrep commands are IDENTICAL.  The other
	day I did an egrep "nproc|NPROC" or some such thing and
	it failed!  A quick cmp of grep and egrep yielded no 
	differences, in fact, grep and fgrep are linked together.

	Boy, and to think that people pay extra to get egrep
	with the Development Set....

	Moral of the Story:  Hope you have a Source License for
	a "real" UNIX machine and recompile the "real" sources....

	But enough already, right?  There is one nice undocumented
	feature about the 7300 I did discover though, link the
	ls command to lf and you will get astericks after executables
	(sort of like an automatic ls -CF) and linking it to ll gives
	an automatic ls -l.
