In my opinion, they look relatively decent compared to the old ASCII. http://people.freebsd.org/~chern/ipsec.html They look a bit crufty at the moment, I'm assuming because of eps2png. I'm hoping Adam Stanislav's peps to see if it will have an improvement. Perhaps we can make Dia our standard for diagrams. I had a bit of trouble compiling it from ports. libiconv-1.6.1 broke for me, and gnomecore broke for Murray. If any of you run into the same problems, I've made packages of these two ports as well as dia itself. http://people.freebsd.org/~chern/dia-gnome-0.88.1.tgz http://people.freebsd.org/~chern/gnomecore-1.4.0.4_1.tgz http://people.freebsd.org/~chern/libiconv-1.6.1.tgz - Chern Lee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
