Any objections? Why would you want to remove it? It is still very usefull. I use it regularly. The only drawback currently is that the Makefile is set up in such a way that it does not pick up X during a "make world", so after a "make world" you have to build it again to pick up X. Built without X it is less usefull. John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za / jhay@FreeBSD.org
