Earlier today I found that the port had been updated to use Mtools-3.3. I downloaded the port and the distfile, ran a 'make all install', and no more error messages at run time. Slightly worryingly, there were a couple of warnings at compile time though. Perhaps these are fixed in the current version of Mtools (3.5a) - there is mention of a port for this version on www.freebsd.org but it doesn't seem to have made it to any of the ftp sites yet. - Ian On 05 April 1997 19:49, Ian Vaudrey wrote: > Hello, > > I've just installed 2.2.1R and also chose to install mtools from > the packages collection.
