First, you'll have to have installed the source distro. By default, sys sources are in /usr/src. There are subdirectories below that. I usually end up doing a "find /usr/src -name script -print" because I'm seldom sure what category the program fits into (whether it's GNU or tools or what) With a little more knowledge of the source tree you'd be able to find what you're looking for quickly, but this info should get you there reasonably fast. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
