Greetings. I've almost completed a port of SFIO (an improved stdio), but have come across a problem with MASTER_SITE. The tarball is available from http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/, but cannot be fetched automatically, as the user is required to give their name and email address before they can download it. Are there any other ports in a similar situation? The "obvious" solution is to override do-fetch and print out a message asking the user to fetch the source by hand, but I just wondered if there was a better solution. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland. james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
