Re: [PATCH] Debian packaging for 0.99.4

after so many years of software development (and with the policy of never 
having conflicting command names) what three letter combinations are still 
avilable?

I'm assuming that the much smaller pool of two letter commands was long 
since exhausted, but if not what two letter commands are available?

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
