We await your submissions with baited breath... I have mixed feelings about that. The Perforce people have been willing for FreeBSD to use it free. They're really nice about that, it seems more than a bit discourteous to try to copy it. If you'd asked to duplicate MSWord, they're a unethical monopolist, I wouldn't have any scruples attacking them, but I don't like attacking folks who've been displaying towards free software such a friendly attitude. Makes me (and I sure support free software!) feel like a predator when you go after folks who've been doing good. I think, if you want it fixed, you should go fix cvs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
