Keywords: SysV, tws library considered non-useful


	Firstly, most System V sites do not have bzero(3), which simply
places arg2 zeroes into arg1.  This is simple enough to replace, with a
for loop.  This is in btimep.c.  Secondly, I don't see a need for another
date library, but phoon is quite cute.  Can someone explain why the included
library is better than Sys V date(3)??  Has anyone re-written phoon to use
date, so I can throw away this library?  Finally, deltime prints
dddd hh/mm/ss.  I fail to see how the author could have used this to see how
old he was.  For this purpose, it should be in yyyy ddd hh/mm/ss format.
