To get the sources, you need to cvsup the doc set. See /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile for an example of how to do that. To build the stuff, you need to install the docproj meta port. The readme in /usr/doc/README (after you've supped the doc sources) provides a pointer to documentation on the build process. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
