Listen, I am not tellimg you off, or making fun of you..Ok ? I promise. But my eyes crossed, went sidewyas, took a holiday, crawled across the floor looking for somewhere else to be. Years and years ago I wrote a caculator program for DOS, using a recursive state-machine model and allowing infinite precision, kind of like "bc"..or is it "dc" ? Quite necessary at the time to deal with the Dutch Tax System. Portupgrade has too many ways it can go wrong for mere mortals. I have offered to re-write it. It will be a mega-project, but my offer is serious. And ruby (don't take our love to town) will place a less than significant role. -- Regards Cliff [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
