We'd probably have removed them otherwise. But in particular ft(4) suffers from a not very elegant design, and its unmaintained state resulted in it being almost worthless over time, since it doesn't handle the more modern drives that are available now at all. If it remains unmaintained, the day will come when all the previously existing drives it used to support on the earth are dead. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
