Beacause it is not even used during a "make release", and it would only be used during a "make release"-like exercise when documentation was being prepared for printing. At that time, we'd be using zillions of ports anyway, so why not bring in ports/textproc/textutils and use gptx? > Better to have crufty BSD software we seldom use than crufty+bloated GNU > software we seldom use. It was crufty old unused GNU code that I deleted with no loss to the system whatsoever. If you wanna bring in BSD ptx, be my guest. You'll need to find a use for it :-) M -- o Mark Murray \_ O.\_ Warning: this .sig is umop ap!sdn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
