I personally think that we should not rename it. And putty's plink should not be renamed either. The two are in a technical conflict, though with little practical consequences. To me, this situation is preferable over the renaning of the binary of either.

Couldn't this be handled by the alternatives system?

Another possibility would be to use "author_progname" (== purcell_plink) or possibly "genome_plink" to resolve the conflict. It is informative to those with knowledge about the program suite and nonobtrusive to anyone else.

Renaming _will_ break scripts but that is simple to fix... with a script :-)

Cheers,
Morten
