Andrew, Thank you for the reply. I will code in 3.4, for the past few years I have been using 2.7 but will start using the new version. I see 2.x will be supported until 2020, So 3.4 is the way to go. Next year when this I expect to release this. I will be converting it to ports and can maintain it. Next year because I will be coding in my free time and want to have something stable before sending it out to the BSD world. Thanks for the emails.
