Ooops, I meant *new* category, instead of net.

I think you are right.  The reason I thought of the net was the DESCR
seems to me to have some emphasis on the network capability, and there
are no other chracteristics that would make these programs fit in
another cateogries besides misc.

Anyway, the textproc isn't appropriate, and maybe new categry is a
good way to go except that I'm not too sure if we have more ports than
just dict, gdict and ispell (and probably a few more) that would go
into it.

     Cheers,
Max
