In that case why does the 'make' in /usr/ports/misc/mmv try to find one when it can't get the one from wustl.edu? Thanks for fixing the Makefile to point to a good archive. I see it alread when I cvsup'ed the ports tree again. I'm sure others will appreciate that. I'll try to do better in describing problems. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
