The Makefiles expressly list 84 and 85 as usable. math/R simply requires 8.4 or higher. I suspect most/all of the listed ports already work with supported versions. So should these just be patched to change 84+ or 84,85 to just 85? If so, I can submit some later today, but removing 84 won't break most (all?) whether the ports are patched or not. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
