Re: HELP files and GCC/UNIX tools

Dave,? Using --help for those Unix style utilities is fine with me.? /Bob
Gentles, ? There are some GCC/UNIX style utils on the Y-Disk, for example DIFF, PATCH and M4. For some I have provided full help, for others I have provided basic help with an instruction to display the command help using the ¡°--help" option. I feel that writing full help for commands such as M4 which won¡¯t get much use, and where help is included is a waste of effort. It would also create more work down the line, as if they are ever updated, we would need to update our help. On the other hand, I feel not providing any help files is not in the spirit of VM. ? ? Does anyone have any thoughts or feelings on this? ? Dave
