Hi,
There are also plenty of programs that use -v for version info.
E.g. zip, mutt, pine, troff, nroff, firefox, thunderbird, file, strings, kcd
I could go on if I searched more...
And there are also programs that use -V for verbose.
E.g. vim.
But you may be right. There may be more programs that do it the other
way around these days. I haven't counted. I don't think that you can
speak of a general tradition.
Isn't this a non-issue?
Erwin
