Considering that I won't be seeing a statement like this from Mr. Gates anytime in the next century or so, I'll accept that ;-) I personally am encouraged to see native FBSD versions of such fine products (like yours claims to be) such as Mozilla and Opera, as well. I'm seeing similar things in other Open Source forums; either there is gathering optimism, or else we're a bunch of die-hard wannabees who still dream of a world where people use software that doesn't resemble Fisher-Price's catalog design. > To find out more about TextMaker, go to > http://www.softmaker.de/tml_en.htm Done.

Download server responsive - good. Simple instructions. Good. Quoted below: ************************************ *Click here to download the software* <http://www.softmaker.com/down/tmfreebsdtrial.tgz>; To install TextMaker, first switch to the directory below which you want to install TextMaker, for example: • * cd ~* to install below your home directory • * cd /opt* to install below /opt • * cd /usr/local* to install below /usr/local Then, unpack TextMaker as follows: * tar xzvf tmfreebsdtrial.tgz* Finally, start TextMaker by typing: * cd textmakertrial* * ./tm* ******************************************* Now, the hard part: <kdk@archangel> [/usr/local/textmakertrial] [16:23] #./tm /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXThrStub.so.6" not found > Martin Kotulla > SoftMaker Software GmbH So, the jury can be out, I guess. I hack around a bit, and maybe try again tomorrow if I don't get it running today. Unfortunately, I'm due out for dinner later. Kevin Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.
