URL is the term for something limited to an address. URI
means a URL OR something which looks like it but is a name
in an abstract space. The IETF WG talks about URLs only as
no namespace exists. [[The URI term has had a hard time as
noone accepts the concept of a (name or address) as some people are
so hot on defending the essential difference of names and addresses]]

Really? A few months ago (Oct 92, version 1.3a I think)
a shortcut was introduced so that the
-source option pipes the source direct (CRLF and all) to stdout.
"Should work"! It was particularly needed (and tested)
for postscript. Before, the source was treated as a plain text file,
and wrapped at the line length.
