man pages, getfcomment - Version: 1.5, 11/12/2004 08:24PM PST

* Several of the man pages have syntax errors that generate warnings like:
mdoc warning: Empty input line #55
mdoc warning: list open at EOF! A .Bl directive has no matching .El
* Would be nice if getfcomment could display Finder Info on OS X. Not sure how to do that except via AppleScript, like:
osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to return comment of file ":path:to:file"'

very nice, useful utilities - Version: 1.5, 11/12/2004 02:56AM PST

It is nice to have OS X unix utilities that take advantage of the interaction capabilities with the GUI.
cpath can be made to work with directories that have spaces without the need to manually add quotes with this change:
<code>
echo -n "$PWD" | perl -pi -e 's; ;\\\ ;g' | pbcopy
</code>
This escapes spaces when they occur in the path.

I particularly love the 'trash' command, which makes undeletion possible where 'rm' does not. Also, in removing an occupied directory, 'trash' is much safer than 'rm -r'.
