Why? Does it still have machine-dependencies in it? I highly recommend the much more machine-independent 'config' that NetBSD is now using. Or at least something similar. As it stands, I can config for several different architectures from one config program. Porting to it is not a trivial amount of work, but I think it's well worth the effort if you do plan to be multi-platform, and it has been done before on the x86... ;-) -allen -- Allen Briggs - end killing - allen.briggs@bev.net ** MacBSD == NetBSD/mac68k ** Where does all my time go?
