Similarly there's little chance of ever seeing my WYSIWYG style linkage of vi chimera ghostview xfig in src/ & ports/, just in: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src\ /generic/usr.bin/vi/wysiwyg.* All components to build this are listed in http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/wysiwyg.shar It works, but like EXMH it's not in src/ & ports/. These with all my other uncommitted FreeBSD contributions are indexed in: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/fixes.html I apply all my fixes & extras localy, as per: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/automatic.html Enhancements to anything welcome, preferably as diff -c. Give EXMH a try, it's rather nice, & unlike some mail interfaces, it doesnt mandate a particular editor, it defaults to emacs, but one can use anything (I use vi). My wrapper may be a bit dated, it doesn't get much use, exiled in web space, where there's not much incentive to maintain it; diffs are welcome. Julian -- Julian H.
