Comments:
1) bm has no man page. Punt it. (note what happens if you type "man
bm"...)
2) echoing comments at the beginning of the man page may be less than
useful, since the pager will never see them, and thus they may just
scroll off the screen, unnoticed or confusing...
3) If we are going to remove this support, and we expect that "the
users can just ask olc and be told the right thing" (did JIK actually
say that? :-) then we should at least drop them a note in cfyi or
something.
4) What excuse is there for leaving it a shell script? If speed is an
issue, write a C program.
5) I'm glad to see that jik actually has the time to maintain some of
this stuff.
6) Does any one else REAALLY use the SIPB locker? I'd like to see some
direct evidence of this, not just old stories. Do they mount off of
athena space, snork, or do they cut tapes every once in a while?
7) 22 days to Talbot house, and counting.

ps. I'm impressed. I hit ^c^c *after* charon crashed, but all of this
message except for the signature made it to an autosave file :-)
