Wes, can you ask him what he needs in order to win even more ground over Linux? I am currently debugging my scripts which fully index /usr/src to DocBook format so that I am finally add the comments/explanation I wanted for the PDP without typing/cut/pasting every single file first and generating a DocBook frame around it. This, along with other source documentation things I am working on might persuade coders to chose for FreeBSD instead of Linux. [Thanks for Nik of course for making the FreeBSD DocBook framework in the first place] But this is only an area I am working on. If this isn't what he needs then get the other `responsible' parties into gear to at least make those areas more suitable. Hope I made some sense ;) -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best We've laid together in the sun before the mind-rape has begun...
