Keep in mind that "our" tar was only included with FreeBSD from FreeBSD 5.3 and onwards. Support for .zip files was added for FreeBSD 5.4. For older releases of FreeBSD it is necessary to install unzip. It is probably also the case that several of the people working on the ports tree also hadn't noticed that tar had grown support for .zip files. --=20 <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
