In short, as I understand them, the feature is an iterative key word search. You start with a list of ports and all the keywords (tags) for those ports. You pick a keyword, and the list of ports reduces to ports with just that keyword. Then you repeat the process with an ever- decreasing number of ports and keywords, until you have a list of ports that is reasonble to read through. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/
