I don't know. Maybe those features aren't available in Panther. Even if they are: call it freedom of choice. Regards, Elias Pipping On Feb 25, 2007, at 7:01 AM, David MacMahon wrote:

assuming you already have the port, updated. compare the output of

and
/usr/bin/file /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/ libncurses.5.4.dylib
that should answer your question.
If /usr/bin/file provides a functionality superset of gfile, why would anyone install gfile?
If gfile has some useful features not found in /usr/bin/file, then perhaps the ultimate solution is to enhance /opt/local/bin/file to make it provide a functionality superset of /usr/bin/file.
Just my 2 cents' worth, Dave
