True, but I am not aware (but I don't have significant
experience) with many Unix variants that contain multiple
versions of the same utility.  Solaris had a directory tree
called xpg4 (iirc) - something like /usr/xpg4/bin,
/usr/xpg4/sbin, etc.  /usr/bin/ps was the old compatible ps and
/usr/xpg4/bin/ps was the "new" open group standards compliant ps.

This is what I was getting at.
