Yet being the operative word? LOL.

Why FreeBSD?

Is this good or bad? It is good in the repect that if they didn't have
them, we couldn't nick them. Otherwise it is bad in the fact that they have
'em and we ain't. Can we nick em? (I shouldn't really say we, because I
wouldn't be able to help with anything but comments. Oh wellŠ Ignorance is
sometimes a virtue.)_

Yeah sure. They will probably want to keep the source there own in order to
help with dev. of the upcoming PPC version of somthing like A/UX. Which is
fair enough, but annoying. :-)

Unless we (You.) didn't get any. :-)

TIA.
