The pithy ruminations from Ralph Corderoy on
<Re: [Nmh-workers] Nabbing /usr/bin Space.> were:
=> Hi Mark,

=> > Do you mean /usr/bin/mh as a sub-directory?
=>
=> No, a new executable, e.g. `mh foo', `mh bar'.
OK, got it.
=> > I'd think that "unpackf" (or "burstmmdf") might be better off in
=> > /usr/libexec/nmh.
=>
=> Seems off to bury a command a user would want to run off-PATH over
=> there?
Not really, if:
/usr/bin/nmh mmdfunburst
really does
exec(/usr/libexec/nmh/mmdfunburst)
Wasn't your intention to stop polluting /usr/bin with more
executables...otherwise, where would you keep 'mmdfunburst'?
Or were you thinking that /usr/bin/nmh would have functionality that's
not available in any other executable, rather than just being a front-end,
and there wouldn't be a stand-alone program 'mmdfunburst'?
Mark
PS.
I do like the idea of a command named "*funburst".
