Amancio, the only problem with this is that the Interviews tools doc and idraw need the Interviews library, which is both huge and no longer under active development or support. I think either one would invalidate those tools for inclusion into FreeBSD. Really, go do a du on your interviews directory -- if you didn't know its size, you're going to be in for a shock! Now, if something more current (and less corpulent) like maybe qt or V was behind it, that'd maybe be different. Fresco was the successor that the Interviews folks wanted you to move to, but it's never been available for FreeBSD (yet). You want to take on a real chore, go take on Fresco. (That's mostly joke, Amancio, unless you have a fair chunk of free time). > > After further testing we can look into further extend / enhance doc and > idraw. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
