When they brought out the last update, there were many fatal bugs in it. I spent quite some time trying to chase them down, finally realizing just how many there were. I am subscribed to the scitext mailing list, and it looks like scitext is either going thru a dormant period, or just plain going away. I think it should be pulled from the ports collection until a new version appears. If I don't hear any complaints, I'll do it. It's already marked BROKEN. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
