Not quite. Motivating example: I am used to the existence of a utility /usr/local/bin/wn. Doing 'make search name=wn' does not turn up anything useful. How do I find out which port (if any) will provide the file /usr/local/bin/wn? Generally, for any file, how do I find out which ports provide it? -- --- Debois
