Version 3.4e comes with the system, which is several years old. Version 3-5.92 is the latest, and has many many improvements/features/bug/security fixes. The only negative is that it comes with html docs instead of man pages, but that shouldn't be too hard to deal with. http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ for anyone that's interested. Don't get me wrong, I know that importing new sources is not a trivial undertaking, but other than adding a couple new features and the man pages the directory/file structure is basically the same, so this shouldn't be too huge a project. (And no, I'm sorry to say that I'm not quite up to the task yet, although by the time I get done with the C class I'm taking who knows? :) Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
