Thank you. I will try it out- hopefully my ports collection will work. I think I may have made a big goof earlier today. I was having problems trying to make ports and getting broken internet links to the distfiles, so I installed the 5.0-current version of ports.tar.gz. Now I wonder if I will get ports that are incompatible with my 4.0 os? That seemed to be the case with grip. I could have just downloaded the package, but I wanted to do it the FreeBSD way and compile it myself. Another night of hacking. Rob.
