Which completely misses the point ... we have desktops, we want to provide tools and APIs which attract developers of applications to code for FreeBSD. You might have well asked yourself to write the desktop, you care as much (or more) about it as John does, and you know that. I know what your answer is, and I'm not surprised or bothered by that, but I am surprised at your discouraging John from providing tools to those folks who ARE interested in it. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
