It's certainly much better than anything else I've seen on github, but it's still written from the programmer's viewpoint: "this is how synth is structured, and what it does". What I was referring to in an earlier mail, and which a couple of other people have also mentioned, is the answer to the question "How do I use synth to do *this*?". I installed the synth package a couple of days ago, mainly to take a look. And yes, I agree, if you're happy with the package (I would be), the Ada dependencies and long build times aren't an issue. I'm sure the learning curve isn't overly steep, but it was enough to keep me from running it just for the fun of it. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer. Finger grog@FreeBSD.org for PGP public key.
