Perhaps I'll go hide now. 8-) If we had Tcl in the base system, this would be trivial. I don't want to use Perl at all - one is simply told that Perl is the be-all and end-all of hackish scripting languages, but it truly appears to be too fragile for that.

Perhaps the built versions of the help texts should be committed to the repository? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
