Me, organize? Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4qfgj2$17s_002@mypc.neosoft.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.27.165.130 X-Newsreader: News Xpress 2.0 Beta #1 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:21855 news.software.readers:27975 This looks like just the thing to cure my problem with trn and its excessive rereading of the remote active file. Only problem is, I'm not good at this porting business. I downloaded the mthreads-3.1.tar.gz, tried to install it, but I get a compile error. Seems mthreads.c is calling "setpgrp", whereas the FreeBSD libraries have replaced this routine with "setpid". As the two functions are completely different in the parameters they expect, I have no idea how to proceed. I assume this is commonly encountered in porting apps to FreeBSD. So, what's the fix for this? Better yet, does anyone have a port, or know where I could find one? Thanks. -- Conrad Sabatier -- http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/
