Ahhh... cool.  I may just start using 3.x then.  *sigh* Is it just me,
or has sunfreeware's packages started getting much less useful.  Many
dependancies, for stuff that doesn't need it.  I snagged the Sol7 screen
package for a machine I support, and it installed but wouldn't
run because it couldn't find ncurses 5.x libraries.  I mean, if you're
going to have dependancies, you should mention it.  Grrr...
