The tree output is great, however, you are right. It is extremely
irritating the "discrepencies" in the SysV makeup of Linux. But
considering Linux's lineage, it is not entirely surprising. Unfortunately,
apart from libc, the kernel and a few other libraries, Linux lacks
uniformity, and is rather eclectic at times. But Hey! It is free, it is
powerful, it is stable, and it sure as hell beats the pants off Mickeysoft
Newt Technology! (not to mention Slowlaris, Irisk, and a couple of other
wierd and wonderful Os's) <-;
Cheers
