There may well be a port to BSD/386, but I don't remember anyone sending me patches. It's on ftp.hyperion.com. Get /WorkMan/WorkMan-1.1.tar.gz. The version numbers are a little screwy, completely my fault. There is no version 4.0.1beta. There were a bunch of beta releases before 1.0; any version number with "beta" in it predates the initial public release. The program compiles and runs on ULTRIX 4.2, SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.x, Sony NEWS-OS 6.0, HP/UX 8.07 and 9.0, and Linux, so I can't imagine it'd be too difficult to port to BSD/386 again. Usually only the file "hardware.c" needs to be changed to port to a new platform. If you do it, make sure you don't break any of the other platforms, and send me build/install instructions and patches! I'll gladly incorporate them into the main source base so support for your platform will be included in the next release. (Actually, if you plan to do a port, let me know ahead of time so I can keep you apprised of upcoming code changes.) -Steve
