I tried it that way and it works great, so as soon as I see glimpse show up in the ports collection, I'll post a changed version of rman to take advantage of glimpse. (rman -- a really nice alternative to xman, it uses tcl/tk and actually completely reformats man pages into something readable). ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
