Yes, I MIGHT have too if I'd have know about jot before I wrote seq!
As I said before I wrote seq over five years ago and in the subsequent
time found out about jot.

I recently took the time to clean up my code and make it presentable.
My original intention when I wrote it was to give seq to NetBSD.  
I just finally got around to it.  If the overwhelming opinion seems
to be, "no thank you" then I'll probably just drop it.  Sigh....

Honestly, how many out there would have known that jot(1) and seq(1)
have some what similar functionality if I hadn't mentioned it?
