(I know, } it's a binary-only port and we can't distribute the distfile/package } anyway....) I've been using it since yesterday, and it feels really } "beta", so I won't update the port unless people really want the } change to go in. Well, it got a few nice features, but feels beta IMHO, too. One annoying feature is, that it requires a different Netscape application defaults file, and if it is made a port at all, then I'd suggest the wrapper makes sure the APPLRESDIR is modified in the shell wrapper, to make it use an app.default file from some other directory ... But I'm not sure that it is a good idea to have a binary on the 2.1 CDROM, which is known to stop working on December 15th. Might annoy people who want to use it and don't even want to know about the "trial" conditions under which this beta is made available :) STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/staff/esser/esser.html
