I'm thinking it's worth creating liburl, with parse routines, and then a front end for the command line, url(1). Some quick google work shows nothing quite like url(1) (save one obscure reference to the MKS toolkit on Windows), and searching for a lex/yacc grammar for parsing urls doesn't turn up anything useful. If only there were more hours in a day. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
