As much irrelevant to the subject as your Steven's reply :), but the reason why i've joined the FreeBSD group has been that back in that old days, Chris Kukulies asked me to make my floppy formatter go into their code base... guess what, half a year later, i suddenly (and surprisingly, from my point of view) got commit privileges, and what should i say, meanwhile i've been invited into the core group... career? :-) -- cheers, J"org private: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
