Me, too.  I wanna know!!!!!

Maybe the version numbers are when the scripts where FIRST implemented?
I can't see a "true" or a "false" breaking.  For that matter, why not
implement "true" and "false" as executables? Ya know,

/* true.c */
main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char **argv;	/* Is this necessary? (To include argv if only argc wanted) */
{
	if (argc > 1) write(2,"Usage: true\n",12);
	return 0;
}

/* false.c */
main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
	if (argc > 1) write(2,"Usage: false\n",13);
	return 255;
}

It would be faster :-).
