Seriously. As will soon be known, the Tera MTA machine uses BSD. Our devel environment was a maze that suported 4 or 5 separate build environments and GNU make rather than pmake|BSD make. With hacks to the Free|Net /usr/share/mk files, and some to the port makefiles, a single release set could support all flavors of BSD. Joining 3 teams multiplies the ports and the usefulness of any BSD. If we could wrap in Linux ports, WC could sell billions and billions of sets....but I'd be happy to take the simpler tack. gary -- Gary D. Kline kline@tao.thought.org Public service uNix
