Why should the FreeBSD people make the port collection work with other
OS's? If thats not what some people were suggesting, forget this post.
:) I see no problem with making them available for other OS's to use,
but that is already the case isnt it? 

I would tend to agree with the statement about BSDI, whether doscmd came
from them or anywhere else...Its a great OS, but not so great company
behind it.
