It's not a problem. The current versions work just fine. It's a feature-request. I can think of many more similar problems which are actually feature-requests. Ultimitely, if I want these features, it does amount to doing what you said: "getting CVS update access and doing it yourself"... Except, you don't want the CVS part unless you want even more work for youself... :) Including the diffs necessary and bmakefiles necessary is sufficient. Or, of course, I could pay someone else to do it. Except I can't actually, since I don't usually have enough money sitting around to buy the latest FreeBSD CD, let alone pay for the OS on it. Perhaps you, OTOH, do have this as an option. Not to downplay the commonality of the third option -- "just wait until someone else does it". This'll happen, but it requires a little patience. > perl 4.036 is absolutely useless, so IMHO either ditch it and save people Not true. I use it. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
