If it's not the "ports" version, you should contact him. You may also want to search out Amancio Hasty (sorry, no email address off the top of my head), which is known to be running JDK on FreeBSD. > also, what exactly is the status of running JDK for linux on FreeBSD. > does it happen with -current? I know there was an announcement on -hackers that someone was doing this on FreeBSD-current, but since there were three announcements on running it "native" on FreeBSD using the BSDI binary, I didn't pay much attention to it. > finally =), how about WordPerfect/Linux on FreeBSD, is that working > yet?

I know the static version for SCO worked for me a while back. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
