No. There seemed to be four different people that were working on it, and there was too much noise in all different directions for me to prioritize it (besides a couple of other personal priorities). The stuff referenced below was just intended as an example of how something like this could be made to work, as someone else (Nik Clayton <nik@FreeBSD.org>, I believe) was working on a split. I just wanted to show that there were better ways of controlling order than just listing it explicitly in a file. > Anyways, the url was http://www.freebsd.org/~eivind/newrc.tar.gz. Eivind.
