24 Ahhhh, I'll install it but make sure my /etc/ backup is up to date. 
25 ;-)  I'll likely just read the man page, see what it does etc and maybe
26 use it for info purposes.  Sort of like euse -i does.  It doesn't'

28 anyway.  lol

30 Wonder why it is not being kept up to date.  Maintainer no longer
31 interested in it, other tools took its place???
