I had installed the FreeBSD distribution packages which give support for earlier versions of FreeBSD, back to version 2.x, and you might need that too. I just copied the binary over to the FreeBSD system and ran it. Success would depend on exactly what the program is trying to do with the system. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
