That's very funny.  Did you learn this by using the program?  Or did
someone tell you this?

I used it for a while because some clients bought it from me, hence I
will have to support it.  The number of free blocks reported always
reflected the true number of free blocks in the system.  If I had
40,000 free blocks in a file system, then I'd show about 10,000 blocks
after making three stages of gcc and cleaning everything up.
[BTW, the reason NU was turned on in a development area is because
our development area is also our user space.]

Note that I did uninstall NU as soon as I could because I was
developing habits that NO system administrator wants to develop 
# rm -rf *  <CR>  /* Wait a minute,... which directory was I in?  */.
If someone is already carrying the baggage of those bad habits in from
DOS-land, then why not give it (NU) to them?  Of course, the ultimate
decision about installing NU *should* lie with the (wo)man who will
have to maintain it.
