While I *am* running an old 2.1.5 system, the man source directory is still in ports/net/gated/work/versiondir/man, and they still get installed in /usr/local/man/whereever. Some of us actually use our systems and can't just blow away the system and reinstall from scratch on a whim... (which doesn't directly apply in this case, but there's a principle there I wish more people understood). -- Alan Batie ______ It's not my fault!
