Hi,

David Lang:
after so many years of software development (and with the policy of never 
having conflicting command names) what three letter combinations are still 
avilable?
Lots.
I'm assuming that the much smaller pool of two letter commands was long 
since exhausted, but if not what two letter commands are available?
Lots of them, I hope, but all of them obscure.

We even have 25 one-letter commands that are free. My /usr/bin/ only has
'w'. And if we run out, we could branch off into other alphabets;
unfortunately, not everybody has a quick way to type an ä. Or α. Or ૐ. ;-)
