Doug, I am aware of that and already rebuilt most of the ports (they were pretty old anyway) but this is just a minor glitch I'm sure other people have and will run into. I frequently used the compat4x and compat5x ports to band-aid major version upgrades, so the service downtime is minimized. Just wanted to point out that something is fishy with the rcorder of the compat scripts. Ulrich Spoerlein --=20 PGP Key ID: 20FEE9DD Encrypted mail welcome!
