I'm sure everyone who contributes and maintains ports will share the warm fuzzies at such unsolicited compliments. :-) If I may make a suggestion: The next time you _do_ come across some application (no matter how small or trivial) you would like to run and find out that there is no FreeBSD port for it yet, read the Porter's Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/), submit a port, and become one of the family! -- V To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
