I did not know this was going to a mailing list. I simply followed a link at freebsd.org for contacting the authors of the FAQ. And yes, using tuc is considerably simpler than running a perl script. There is no syntax to learn. At any rate, I was simply trying to offer a simple solution to the FreeBSD team, to use as they please if they please. I had no idea my message was going to go to FreeBSD users at large. I certainly did not mean to imply that everyone should run out and download the program. If my message offended you, accept my apologies. Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
