This man page is too long." CORRECTION Not long enough! I was looking for something that ties together cvsup and portupgrade and pkg_add and so forth. Oh well, I'll read them all some more individually. "FreeBSD 4.5 January 25, 1998 FreeBSD 4.5" Always wondered why manpages have such old dates at the bottom; Are these the dates the command first appeared? Shouldn't it be the last time the manpage you are reading was updated with new information?? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
