Can't say that I find compiling other's applications on MacOS X any harder than on FreeBSD (without /usr/ports/ assistance). Only disappointment has been trying to run FreeBSD-hosted X11 apps using Apple's X11 server. Apple has updated a couple of times since I last tried so this isn't an entirely fair comparison. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
