It's not wrong format documentation that's a/the problem - it's merely lack of documentation. That's not a FreeBSD specific problem though, but it'd be nice if it got sorted out for FreeBSD. *Insert Gum Shield* M$ Windows does have good documentation though, perhaps due to people being paid to do it, or because there's a lot of people who can't write M$ Windows software but want to get it in on it. Oh I don't know, I hate writing documentation as much as anyone else, but it'd be nice if it was there. -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
