I thought you guys wanted to > freeze this code. Yes, I am still patching this tree, and if the FreeBSD project kills the tree I will be setting up my own area to maintain this realease. With several 100 customers dependant upon being able to run this and have bugs fixed it would be too important to me to have support for it totally dropped. If I have to go to a ``patchkit'' to do it, I will. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
