++The original FreeBSD port of mmv was derived from the Usenet
++comp.sources.unix postings <2438@litchi.bbn.com>,
++<2439@litchi.bbn.com>, and <2643@litchi.bbn.com>.
++The current port is based on the comp.binaries.ibm.pc postings
++(no messageids available).
++The Unix version used '=' as the index escape character,
++while the MS-DOS version used '#'.
++This port allows both.
