Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've just spent most of the day doing a port (hack really) of some software called harvest. It's an information tool with some of the attributes of WWW worm and WAIS, but supposedly much more efficient. My port doesn't run :-( some incompatibility with lseek function (second port I've tried to do where I've had problems with lseek - is there some bug under 2.0R ?)... but the blurb does mention that although they only support SunOS and Solaris and OSF/1 that somebody else is working on a port to FreeBSD and Linux - anybody out there know anything about it - it looks a pretty nifty buch of soft technology ... The URL for info is at http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/ Thanks in advance... Bill Hart Lecturer "Computers in Art" Tasmanian School of Art (Hobart) University of Tasmania Australia
