	Well just when I'm getting used to calling AIX a useable Operating 
System IBM decides to fix another utility or two. The latest two in question 
du which they have decided should report 1k blocks (as far as I can tell 
cpio reports 512 byte blocks) and speaking of cpio they have changed it
so that -C wants a value of the number of blocks to be backed up not bytes
(I wonder if they are 1k blocks?).

Does anyone no where /usr/games/fortune went between 9005 and 9021? If anyone
can point me to an lpp to install it would be appreciated.
