I sent a message on that subject two days ago, no response so far. Maybe the maintainers are off for the weekend; otherwise I can send another message, with CC to the port maintainers, Tuesday morning, giving time for a Monday response. I looked in "man sysexits" and in the referenced file, /usr/include/sysexits.h : showed error codes 64 to 78. Where do I find documentation for other error codes? Tom
