Could anyone direct me to, or offer additional, insights regarding this?  I
have tried to search the net for info.

One of my motivations for recently becoming a Mac user was Mac's more recent
embrace of OSS and the cool projects link Fink, FinkCommander, that have
sprung up.  In the last three months I have begun to appreciate the Mac
community's synergetic energies.

It seems unfortunate that I cannot get such software available via Fink.

I have no control over this one.  There was some discussion
among the Fink maintainers a while back on whether to add a
FinkCommander package to the distribution, and they
ultimately decided not to for reasons that had nothing to do
with FinkCommander's merits.  I have no quarrel with their
reasoning (not that it would matter if I did).

They left open the possibility that a FinkCommander binary
might be included in future releases of the Fink installer.
