I already know of at least one Linux vendor which has this sort of thing on their CD-ROM. Can anyone pursue this avenue further? Also, I already suggested to Jordan that there is an excellent Macintosh emulator from a company called ARDI (http://www.ardi.com/) which is currently for DOS/NextStep/Linux and seems to work okay under FreeBSD's Linux emulator. I forwarded the FreeBSD announcement on to ARDI, and I hope they would be willing to put the L*nux version on the FreeBSD CD and if they get a good response, maybe they will make a FreeBSD-native version? One can only hope... :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
