The checksum breaks every time a new version of the author's software comes out, because the checksum (md5 checksum, reliable) checks the existing (replaced) copy. This just usually means that you have to ftp a newer version of the port. Most checksums are kept pretty up to date. Lynx, by the way, is a particular problem, because it changes SO often, but Andrey Chernov, who keeps that doggedly up to date, does a great job. > > Thanks. > > Michael > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
