But it doesnt. There is a false old version in the port on the server. This is apparently a known issue as there are two (2) PR's with this issue reported in the last few days. If someone on our list knows the maintainer I think it could be corrected easily. It may be an upgrade that failed to take as the two versions are 2004 and 2007 is what I think should be there now. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
