	A weekend ago I retrieved the newest ports tar file;
	installed sup and tested it.  

	I don't find any *supfile within /usr/share/examples.
	This was one head-scratch. I find these two -supfiles
	in the FAQ subdirectory of my v2.0.5:

	/usr/share/FAQ/extras/ports-supfile
	/usr/share/FAQ/extras/standard-supfile

	Where would I find the ``stable-supfile''; also,
	can you explain what you mean by an alternative
	supserver?  

	I'd like to begin upgrading to the 2.1 libraries and
	utilities, if possible.  Then the kernel; X would be
	last.  If you can suggest a better order, please do!

	Thanks much.
