Your help will be > very helpful! Are you aware of what a FreeBSD port is? It's a small set of files and a system of handling software, so that the software can be adapted to build on a FreeBSD host. It also allows automated contrustion of binary packages of that software. It ISN'T the software package itself, that still has to be fetched from the author's site. If you're not using it on a FreeBSD host, a FreeBSD port or a FreeBSD package isn't going to do you a lot of good. That said, you can get the FreeBSD ports and packages by entering the appropriate subdirectory of ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD, depending on the version of FreeBSD you're running (the directories make the selection obvious). If you're not running FreeBSD, it's going to be of real limited help to you. > > Thanks. > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
