Many tools listed in the documentation are not present in the FreeBSD port, and many of the tools that are present are missing features. What's making things is worse is the fact that the netpbm ports don't include any documentation. Instead they refer to the online documentation which is way ahead of the state of the FreeBSD port, as explained above. Is anybody working on updating the netpbm ports? Is there any problem with it that I'm not aware of? Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
