I think you ought to give it a try before you say "it's nothing big". It is something really big, all tied up in lots and lots of Imakefiles, and hidden behind some horrible complicated hacks to make it's own namespace. On top of that, it's a moving target, under development so it's always changing. If you're interested, Interviews has been ported to FreeBSD. Interviews could be said to be Fresco's parent, does a lot of the same things, and comes with some interesting (and working) applications, like a nice class browser, and a graphics program. Look in the ports collection. > > - Joel > ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
