=I think it should be contained in the ports of FreeBSD; at least 
=I have installed a package called auis-6.3.1.

The Andrew project has recently released the 7.5 version, which
is described as a very powerfull thing. Too bad, they would not
release the source code :( And the FreeBSD linuxer does not seem
to like ELF binaries:
mi@rtfm:~/auis (950) file bin/runapp 
bin/runapp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
mi@rtfm:~/auis (951) !$
bin/runapp
bin/runapp: can't open cache '/etc/ld.so.cache'
bin/runapp: can't load library 'libtextobjs.so'

Well, may be, I did not install it right. But, in any case, can
some FreeBSD official(s) push the Andrew project to make the FreeBSD
binaries as well? Their ftp server is still at
	ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/AUIS/
BTW.
