+Also, always report the machine, OS (`uname -a'), and compiler used to
+make rc; this information is extremely valuable.
+
+
+FEEPING CREATURISM
+
+See the end of the man page, under "INCOMPATIBILITIES" for (known?)
+differences from the "real" rc. Most of these changes were necessary
+to get rc to work in a reasonable fashion on a real (i.e. commercial,
+non-Labs) Unix system; a few were changes motivated by concern about
+some inadequacies in the original design.
