Ahh, okay... I wasn't aware of this little twist... I just remembered that the TeX and LaTeX stuff had been discussed in Debian because some TeX sources say that you cannot change them and still call it TeX (you even have to rename files), and because the LPPL says that changed files should identify themselves as such. But with the variant of BSD you're using I guess the nice total order I had in mind breaks apart :-) -- Martin Geisler GnuPG Key: 0x7E45DD38 PHP Exif Library | PHP Weather | PHP Shell http://pel.sf.net/ | http://phpweather.net/ | http://mgeisler.net/ Read/write Exif data | Show current weather | A shell in a browser
