This one at least is conceptually pretty easy to solve. We don't have any worries about how old or new the version of expat in base is; since it's not called libexpat, nothing but the stuff in base written specifically against it has to worry about it getting old, and upgrading it requires only checking against those things in base. So we could go right ahead and import perl, just renamed to 'bsdscript' 8-} -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
