Description Sheldon Hearn 1999-08-12 12:50:01 UTC 
	A recent query on the freebsd-hackers list for new features in
	test brought up the issue of NetBSD's pdksh-derived test(1).
	Two noteworthy extensions are the -nt (newer than) and -ot
	(older than) binary file operators.

	NetBSD has had this test(1) since mid 1994, with no significant
	changes since since late 1997.

Fix: Apply the following 27KB diff. Note that the operators.* files
	are obsoleted by this change.
How-To-Repeat: 
	N/A

I'd love feedback, particularly of the mpp and bde variety. :-)
Comment 2 Sheldon Hearn 1999-08-12 14:07:16 UTC 
Hmmm, the OpenBSD repo offers a few stylistic fixes, namely trailing
whitespace and (foo *)0 -> NULL. There are also a few functions for
which argument specification isn't indented.

I'm not going to repost the diff, since I'm not even sure it was such a
smart idea to submit this as a diff in the first place. The files are
available at

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Committed to HEAD a few minutes ago. I'll leave it in this state

candidate again.
