[HEADS-UP] BSD sort is the default sort in -CURRENT

[Oleg Moskalenko]

Doug,

--nthreads option corresponds to --parallel option of NGNU 
and it will be renamed. The other four proprietary options 
will be marked as non-portable in the man page. 

After nthreads==>parallel renaming, NBSD will support all 
NGNU options.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Oleg
