Hi,
I don't agreee with that list and I use some of them regularly however, I
will re-evaluate some of them.

Section 13 I can consider removing.
Section 18, no way, I don't agree. I will revise the section.
Section 19 I will probably remove (probably, no definitely).
diff3, lastlog, enscript, rgrep, fgrep and maybe style I will consider
removing (the first 2 I will remove).
The others I'm not sure about yet, I do use quite a few of them daily.
In general (to everyone), I would like to thank you for finally giving me
some direct feedback, rather than saying that it could be better or its not
good enough (IMHO that achieves nothing).
This is exactly what I was looking for, not criticism directly, just
feedback on the document itself.
Thankyou,
Gareth
