How many users: Of course, I don't know. But problem not in this, but in existense. I now buy in comeaucomputing compiler for SCO, and I was have tolk with them about FreeBSD platform.

Becouse attempt to track *all* software which run on FreeBSD is in principle impossible. More: I think that we *must* have the bazzar style set of links. > -Mark > > ? > ? -- > ? > ? @= > ? //RSSH mailto:Ruslan@Shevchenko.Kiev.UA > ? > ? > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com > RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark > > finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > "The problem is how do you build tools that understand your programs > at a deeper semantic level." - James Gosling -- @= //RSSH mailto:Ruslan@Shevchenko.Kiev.UA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
