If you think that nslookup shipped with Fedora is a "toy" then you'll be
delighted to know that it is also a "toy" within RHELv4, RHELv5, SUSE,
Ubuntu, etc. as they all use the same upstream source.

I would like to know what version of AIX you are using.  I ask this
since when I look at the man pages for AIX I see that in 5.3 the "ls"
function is defined.  However, in 6.1 it isn't.

But, anyway.....

A later posting from you seems to suggest that you are hamstrung by
people unable/unwilling to move forward.   I will tell you that I had a
"similar" situation a few years ago.  What I ended up doing was writing
a "wrapper" around the new command to mimic the old command.  This way,
the "lazy" people didn't have to learn anything new. 

I think it was 6+ months after that they bemoaned the fact that the old
command wasn't able to do something they thought it should.  So, I
pointed them to the new command and they finally "switched", having
never known they were using the new one all along.
