Well I hope he has a life, however he was handing me about 5 manpages a day untill *developers started offering 'helpful' suggestions. Of course none of it was about the technical accuracy of the documentation, rather it was nitpicking about layout and format. This is FreeBSD so it's to be expected since form is so much more important than progress and functionality. Or at least that's the impression I get from anyone who's tried to contribute and doesn't have time for all the BS and politics. http://www.pitara.com/folktales/aesops/man_the_boy_and_the_donkey.asp I chose to axe the silly reference to the now non-existant vm lock, since you weren't much help with that either. :) -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] Ok, who wrote this damn function called '??'?
