If I were to acquire such software, I'd rather have to add the compat libs as as port (and re-add the options flag to the kernel) then have them as legacy libs hanging around after an upgrade. That does give me an idea, however. I can probably use the contents of the compat5 port to find out what libs are specific to that version. Cheers, -Wes
