 Current Plan
.............

The strutil package is currently incomplete.  The purpose of the
package was to move STREAMS utility programs and modules outside of the
STREAMS release package so as to allow them to be used with both LiS
and Linux Fast-STREAMS.  As Linux Fast-STREAMS has already shown
superior to LiS in terms of both performance and conformance, it is no
longer necessary to keep these packages separate and they can be
combined once again (or still) with Linux Fast-STREAMS.

The current plan is to maintain this package for current distributions,
kernels and tool chains utill such time as LiS is kicked out of the CVS
archive tree completely.  It is not necessary for Linux Fast-STREAMS as
all of its facilities are includes in the base Linux Fast-STREAMS
package.
