Thanks for your response. I didn't mess with the "content" of am-utils. Folks were complaining that amd is old and buggy, and is missing features that were in am-utils. I just contrib-utized the beast, in a way that it will work for both -current and -stable, and future versions of am-utils should just drop-in. There was a flurry of email about "ports or contrib", because there was general agreement that folks *wanted* to convert from amd to am-utils, and all that was needed was for somebody to step up to the plate and do the work. There is a an open bug report (bin/6353, as I recall) on this, too. Based on this, I decided to do the work. If y'all are now no longer interested in it, that's fine - just let me know, and I won't spend/waste any more of my time or y'all's on things like this. (I hope whoever I sent the tarball to still has it - I can't seem to locate it now, and I'm currently unwilling to re-invest the time to recreate my efforts.)
