>Description:

	I am unable to install the latest port of Majordomo because
	there are certain components referenced in the makefile (such
	as the $INSTALL_DATA variable) which are not present in my
	release of the O/S.  Unfortunately, this port, as many others,
	was tailored for 2.2-BETA.  Please tell me what components I
	need to get, and how I can get them, in order to be able to
	successfully make the Majordomo 1.94.1 port.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
	As a side note (and only as a suggestion), it would be great
	if ports were available for a couple of STABLE versions of
	the O/S.  Borrowing components from a BETA version into a
	STABLE version does not seem like a good idea.
