The ports collection gets an INDEX file, though you still need your own awk script to read it if you don't have /usr/ports/Makefile. Not ideal yet. It's meant to be front-ended by a viewer! The packages collection also generally gets an INDEX file built up of the ONELINE fields. It's pretty easy to do.. I'll look to see if the last one is up-to-date, though admittedly it's pretty ugly and should ALSO probably be read through a browser (or at least smoked glass). All of this stuff is practically screaming: "FRAMEWORK! WHERE'S THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION PACKAGE??" at me, so I have to go now.. :-) Jordan
