Well..with all the flavors and differences between all the unices.. I doubt one can make everyone happy :) screen3.5.0 compiled fine for me..no hassles. elm2.4 took me a while..but it wasnt that bad.. then again..im running 386bsd..not FreeBSD cor -- | cor@hacktic.nl | Hack-Tic System Management | +31-20-6001480-3 (VMB) | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ######### Signature Virus Running.
