The only reason I suggested ports/biology is because it already existed. Modern biology does encompass "classical" biology as well as chemistry so it is not totally inappropriate. Perhaps ports/biochemistry? I am not sure how Physics fits in though, or if we have any ports that are purely for physics. I like your idea but am not clear about how "virtual" descriptions work. Is that something that could be searched for in ports/INDEX? -- Glenn Johnson Technician USDA, ARS, SRRC New Orleans, LA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
