On the whole, yes, we can agree. My heartburn with this is that I believe it's bad form for an application to alter another without explicit agreement. That said, this may work: Add a variable to the make file that must be set, e.g., MODIFY_TEXMF similar the the USA_RESIDENT variable for the encryption ports. If not set, the make file will fail in the beginning when the user is paying attention. With a short description of the changes to be made, the user can make an informed decision. The changes should probably be additions like "hash_extra.jadetex=50000", although if the user agreed, it isn't necessary. I haven't played with that form of option much, but they appear to work as advertised. It would also be good form to back up the original configuration and delete the word "original" from the modified file. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
