A large part of the document is spent discussing how to install and run the processing tools on Linux. I've since rewritten the tools for FreeBSD and the install document is moot since it comes with FreeBSD (as of 2.0.5) and the operational aspects are covered in the manual page. A quick look at some of the sgml files for the handbook should give you the basic idea and don't hesitate to email questions to me or to the doc group. -john == jfieber@cs.smith.edu ========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
