I can think of a couple of reasons that bin86 might not be in the
true-blue depends for the source package, but I'd think it'd at least be

I've taken a quick look, and it looks like it has the
potential to be usable,
: this is great for backwards binary compatability, something Linux

With all due respect, Linux has been worse about this than many other

There's no room. No kidding. If Ian adds /root/bin, etc. to the shell path,
it will use the versions that you install from the base floppies, but you'll
