Is there a FAQ or help file which explains how to make these utilties to
work? For example if I go to the directory .../top and type make the
program is properly retrieved from ../distfile (sp) and built but it is
not installed. If I try pkg_info top not too much happens (I can
manually install the package but ....)

Thanks,
atk
