>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD-current system running on a Pentium 200 MMX with 32M of
	RAM and 1.6G HDD.

>Description:

	The cnet port does not compile (compilation errors occur).
	The cnet package does not run (complains about unknown symbols;
	I suspect that the compile.c provided with the FreeBSD port does
	not properly link the binary cnet produces).
	Additionally, the cnet port is out of date (a new version exists).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try compiling the cnet port on -current.
	Try installing the cnet package on -current and running it
	on the example files that come with cnet.

>Fix:

	I'm not sure why it doesn't compile, but I suspect the problem
	with the package is caused by something not being linked that
	should be in compile.c.  Note that compile.c is a platform-specific
	file that compiles the executable cnet ultimately produces.
