- In fact I too got to know about the GNU utilities after starting to use OS/
- 2 (many many thanks to Kai Uwe Rommel). For example, if I remember
- correctly, the cp, rm and mv in Ultrix do not have a "v" (verbose) option.
- The GNU file utilities have them and, it is a very convenient thing to have.
