Too many people are used to typing "nc". -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect / Computer Horizons Corp - CVM e-mail: billf@chc-chimes.com / billf@FreeBSD.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Mon, 8 May 2000, Bill Fumerola wrote: [...] : I know.

When I did the mailing list search it appears that I forgot to check "ports" as well as questions/stable. Now that I read back on the posts, I see that you are correct in that it was brought up before in Dec 1999. You're also right about too many people being used to typing "nc" [from archives] > Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 17:16:43 -0800 > From: "David O'Brien" <obrien@freebsd.org> > To: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: editors/nedit vs. net/netcat > Message-ID: <20000102171643.A57182@dragon.nuxi.com> [...] > Nope.

Either way it still needs to be implimented and most likely done on our side as I do not know how much luck there would be in talking the nedit people into changing it. Note: No offense intended in any way to anyone on the nedit team, it's a great editor.
