I didn't remember what the "-u" option did, so I looked in the SVID.
Not there!  Logged in to a V.2 system.  I find there
	cat [ -u ] [ -s ] [ -v [-t] [-e] ] file...
On a V.3 System, there were no on-line man pages (hiss, spit), but
	usage: cat -usvte [-|file]

Does anyone know why the SVID only lists the "-s" option?
