Sheesh... the fanboys demanding you open-source BitKeeper aren't
enough of a distraction for you? ;-)

There's at least one, maybe more, do-alikes out there, unencumbered
by SCO lawyers or much of anything else:

http://sources.isc.org/dirlist.perl?dir=utils/text/processing/ 
&tarball=nrchbar/nrchbar/

This one is a C program, and public domain, so updating it & GPL'ing
it should be legal at worst. (Updating, what updating? I changed the
diff path in the C file, the manpage install path in the Makefile, and  
the
thing compiled without warnings & ran just fine.)
