You're welcome -- I did the 'hard' work so that it would work for me :). The rest was window-dressing - ie figuring out how to properly incorperate my changes into the FreeBSD ports system etc... I've just now submitted a followup to my pr on this that has two patch files patch-aa and patch-ab and a one-line port Makefile change that makes this all work automagically. I hope the powers that be have time to get it in before release. Fred -- Fred Clift - fclift@verio.net -- Remember: If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough.
