That's quite the likeable idea. The alternative is that we end up with mixed legacy code and new code, as people don't care about bringing the PC98 "up to date" so long as it still works. It's always better to have "one true way" to do things: it makes it easier to document. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
