It is located in ports/Tools/scripts/ I moved it into a directory in my path. Then, I added an alias search 'portsearch -n $1' You can do interesting things like search ^bison Where the port name begins with bison. There are a number of other interesting options. They are covered in a README. Make search does something similar but the output from portsearch is cleaner. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
