You'll need to provide either the source code for us to compile ourselves, or a version which runs on XTs. However, if I assume that all this program does is print a screenful of the word "FATAL", then yes, FreeBSD will let you write a program which does the same but with the word "BOO". In fact, FreeBSD will allow you to do much more. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
