With respect to "pr"

Summary of original article:  pr does not accept '-' in place of a file name
to mean use stdin.  The posters local guru said it is not reasonable to
change pr.  The poster wants to know if other gurus think the same way.

Summary of responses:  If he was on V8 he could use /dev/stdin.

Attempt to answer original question:  Your local guru should either let
you make the change to pr, or he should let you put /dev/stdin in
your kernel.  Try to talk him into the later.  He will probably refuse,
and after a bit of arguing, you can probably compromise on the former! :-)
