Yeah, nothing like a little judiciously exercised self-delusion, huh? :-) > Or even better, send us your fixed code. :-)) I'm pleased to report I have done just that! My very first "official" port (xless). Submitted it yesterday. OK, it was small and only required two simple patches. Still, I'm rather proud of myself, and happy to be able to contribute to such a noble and worthwhile cause as well. *And* I now have a much better grasp of the "right" way to do a port for the collection. I had ported it for my own personal use a while back, but went back and re-did it according to the handbook; once I had it all done I sat here typing "make", "make install", "make package", etc. a bunch of times just to enjoy the results. Neat-o! :-) Merry Christmas to All! -- Conrad Sabatier | conrads@neosoft.com | Eschew obfuscation. http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads |
