+The original FreeBSD port of mmv was derived from the Usenet
+comp.sources.unix postings <2438@litchi.bbn.com>,
+<2439@litchi.bbn.com>, and <2643@litchi.bbn.com>.
+The current port is based on the comp.binaries.ibm.pc postings
+(no messageids available).
+The Unix version used '=' as the index escape character,
+while the MS-DOS version used '#'.
+This port allows both.
