I didn't write everyone individually to thank them for the time they took to provide some spectacular insights, but I am most grateful for the time you all took... I've been programming 12-15 hours a day now for months, and I think I really need a vacation, get away from all this. Actually I am retired, and no-one forces me to do this, I've always loved solving problems and the mental challenge programming has always provide me. I think it's just the frustration when things don't go well that go the better of me... I would like to apologize to the members of the list for having sent this message expressing my paradigm's views, which in retrospect it appears were mostly flawed. Once again, thank you for the great insights, and especially to the all the folks involved with MacPorts. Best Regards, Bill Hernandez Plano, Texas
