I installed from the package without trouble, and it runs, and it lets me pull its menus down, but that's about it. I don't expect a beta to be problem free, but once something gets to be a package it usually does more than show menus. After searching the mail archives, I cannot see evidence that anyone has ever created a document with it, or even opened an existing file. My searching skills are not fantastic, though. One suggestion from -questions was to try renaming a schema file, but that only made it dump core. Most of them talked about (unresolved?) problems compiling the port, which I sidestepped by using the package. The few messages in the thot mailing list archive at http://opera.nrialpes.fr/thot/messages/ are about more advanced tricks than getting it to open a file. The port seems to have no current maintainer, and has been untouched for just over a year. Is it dead? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
