Just tried that myself... To get it to compile, copy ppbconf.h and ppi.h out of /usr/src/sys/dev/ppbus into the same directory as ppilcd.c and its Makefile. Then make depend && make all. You'll get an executable called ppilcd. What you do with it from there is up to you. :-) P.S. You can read the code to pretty easily find out the commandline parameters it supports. The usage() function isn't called when no paramaters are given, so you'll have to give it an unused parameter like -x to get its usage. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
