And we don't have offical "revisions" (nor > patchlevels, other than security branches), so that output is bad also. Please have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/freebsd-versions.html , please have a look at /usr/include/sys/param.h and come back with patches if you still have problems. This nonsense has gone on long enough. It will be better if you explain where my thinking went wrong in a constructive way instaed of this constant bickering like old women do. That way we all learn something from it. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/
