If pcvt is neither supported nor working, wouldn't it be better to remove it completely from the base system. Just not to confuse the users. Or perhaps it should be moved to ports for those who are interested. At the momement pcvt(4) man page still exists on i386 7.0-stable, with no mention that it actually doesn't work. yours anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
