   So Apple hod to lower it's standards in order to bring Unix to the 
Macintosh.   :-), :-) :-) :-)

   No think it was a wise decision not to spend the time changing the Unix
man pages, after all I've come to know and hate those pages with a passion.
It would dissapoint me if they were different.  Unix isn't suppose to be better,
it's suppose to be a standard.  Besides I'd rather see MPW 3.0 this year
rather than an Apple quality unix man page.
