Also, the lack of ps2, etc.? The missing chapters and/or whole manual(ps2) is due to the fact that these works are copyright USL and/or AT&T and thus are not distributed by UCB on the 4.4 Lite tape. > Has anyone *really* looked hard to see just how much of this > could be salvaged?

A great deal of it can be salvaged, the major work is converting the Makefiles so they do not depend on the symbolic links that the 4.4 tape had on them (we don't support symbolic links in the source tree due to CVS/RCS lacking support for them). > Thx, --don > -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
