If the file exists, the contents show the ports that depend on ant. If it doesn't exist, it means that no other port is dependant on ant. However, keep in mind that ant is a build (make) tool for Java applications. It is quite possible that there are no applications that depend on ant for running and at the same time it is likely that if you deinstall ant you won't be able to build (run?) some of your Java applications anymore. --=20 Bahman Movaqar PGP KeyID: 0xDA647509 (subkeys.pgp.net) Talking nonsense is man's only privilege that distinguishes him from all other organisms. -Fyodor M.
