I thought that was a GNUism?

I don't really mind it. How do you feel about find and dd?

I've been known to write stuff that's only used from scripts (too many
picky options to type interactively - math stuff) that gets its arguments
via env[]. ITERATIONS=16 etc. Looks kinda VMSish, which is funny.

I hate the subtle DOSish feel to a lot of linux stuff, thought that
might just be in my head. When I see a colour "ls" display, all I can
think is that Kmart finally has their own Linux distribution.
