I brought 4.036 in back in 2.0 and have been waiting for the wrangling to be done with before I bring in 5.003/4. I have no problem doing this. I also need to "REMOVE" the current info in the tree and update to the latest. No big deal, except for the flamage I would catch. > Soren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Next point, people are jumping on Perl about how we have so few system utils based on it it should go, where are the utils based on TCL?
