Right now 'portupgrade' is running and it seems to be running correctly. I am not sure exactly what 'portindex' and 'portindexdb' do, since there is no manual for them. I assume that there are no command line switches either. Anyway, that is just my 2 cents. Gerard Seibert gerard-seibert@rcn.com The easy way is always mined.
