Netcat has been around alot longer than nedit, thus it is installed as ``nc'' on Suns, HP's, etc.. already. `nc' is the name it is known as, plain and simple. Plus netcat is often used in scripts, which would break with a name change. Why not ask the Nedit people to pick a new name for `nc'? `nclient' or something would be just fine. People demanding a shorter name can make an alias. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
