Sorry? If it isn't on the master site specified in the port, it sure is on our site (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles), as I was checking a2ps earlier today and it fetched from there fine (the way the machine I was using is set up it checks ftp.freebsd.org first, then the master site). You should just use the port anyhow. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info
