    Actually, the difference between the `ps' that I started with
    and the `ps' that I ended up with is much less than 5000 bytes
    (on i386, at least). However I just upgraded my system last
    night, so I no longer have the earlier files. [well, I suppose
    I could get them easily enough, but really I have other things
    on my schedule for today...]

    That does not make me any fonder of it. I've worked with those
    options on other systems, and speaking for just me personally, I
    have not liked how they worked out. I just don't.
