Moving this back to Jordan's question ... I hate to lose source code that has merely sentimental value (I learned C by hacking old games, a while back) but (with the exception of fortune, which I like on my .cshrc as a hello type thing) there isn't any game in /usr/src/games that isn't better managed as a port. Not one functional line in there. Takes 7.5 megs of source. Reclaims enough to allow for a new package, like maybe Perl5? Anybody realize that perl is now so out of date in our tree, it's actually a negative selling point for FreeBSD? Perl is pretty major for web stuff, too. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
