Dear Maintainer,

naming of utils originally named isql and gstat is unpredictable and inconsistent - isql-fb and fbstat.
It's very hard to find out what command should be used to invoke gstat. Please could you consider creating
symlinks with consistent names (gstat-fb perhaps?). This option is better than fbstat because console
substitution could suggest the proper name if a user types "gstat" and presses Tab.
Btw, usage info of these utils prints original names thus additionally messing things up.
