I tried using to FBSD.org port section, but it never matched
what I had on my system. I use the port ytree
(like msdos xtree display) to navigate the hard drive
directory tree and changed the ytree default viewer to zmore.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Subject: ports browser

Anyone know of an ncurses-based program or something that will let me
browse my ports tree, and read me pkg-comment, pkg-descr, and plg-plist?
I'd just like a more orderly way of browsing the list, and I don't feel
like: cd port1; cat pkg*; (read for a while, ok) cd ..; cd port1; ....
etc etc.  With over what was it, 1600 ports I believe, that becomes a
pretty boring task.

Thanks
