BTW, did you notice that John Polstra committed a change to the runtime loader, that lets it, in a pretty simple program, report it's version number? That's not too bad a signpost, of the installed software level on a particular user's machine. I know that's been on your mind lately. I'll be working up a real short test prog to report that. It's no good on any machine but current, but it's the right direction, isn't it? > > -PW > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
