Well, being the last person to touch fmt, I'll answer this one: bin/4607 was opened Sep 22, after I closed bin/2968 on Aug 20th. It appears to be a straight dup of 2968, so I'm not sure why it was re- submitted; I applied the fix to both -current and -stable. I guess it should be closed, I've been swamped the last few weeks and haven't done much except delete my mail. :-( > I have a drop-in replacement for it, written by me, which the > FreeBSD project can have on any reasonable terms.

I don't use fmt, so I'm the wrong person to ask. :-) -- Jonathan
