Quite possibly. is not in the FDP, however. seemed the best match of what's listed. I'm attaching a patch with this change. -doc masters, use whichever one is correct. If it's , then we should probably have added to the SGML section of the FDP. ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons --vtzGhvizbBRQ85DL Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ports-cd *** en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml-dist Tue Nov 20 21:19:43 2001 --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml Sun Nov 25 19:04:04 2001 *************** *** 671,678 **** ports. !
