From the author on the project homepage, http://dbmix.sourceforge.net/ (last updated 2/24/02) On the topic of *BSD support: As of freeBSD version 4.2, it was not possible to run dbmix on FreeBSD systems due to a issue with blocking I/O on pipes. After contacting the FreeBSD development teams I was told that a patch for "linux style" pipes was in the works. Once this patch is available, I will port DBMix. If the patch is available now, please let me know. I also found the author's post from 2000: http://www.faqchest.com/linux/freeBSD/fbsd-00/fbsd-0009/fbsd-000918/fbsd00090622_35241.html which may provide more details. Given that he's referencing 4.2, is what's required available in any of the recent releases? Omar
