Err, Umm Is this a BSD only utility?
As far as I know [:-) .forward (??) files are not used on system V.
Has there been any attempt to identify items which are:
1. BSD only
2. System V only
3. Able to function anywhere after possibly a few mods.
4. Other ?
Persons posting sources could at least indicate systems known to
work and possibly support features required (like .forward files).
(Maybe I should read the headers more closely - but just because
something was developed under BSD doesn't mean it can't work under
System V, et al.
