Something else about it most people probably haven't noticed: It's one of our first (only?) applications to install a specific message catalog for itself. This means that you can have versions of ee that are friendly to more than U.S. users - you can have the help screens and menus come up in anything from French to Croatian. In fact, since ee will be one of the first apps a user sees in FreeBSD's installation (anytime editing of a configuration file is requested) I would actively encourage any suitably motivated translators to do so. /usr/src/usr.bin/ee/nls/en_US.ISO_8859-1/ee.msg contains the english language messages.. It's also a reasonable example of how to do this in your own application and the only working example of `gencat' and its input format that I know of. Jordan
