Hi, thanks for the personal cc, but I don't have a Fiskars,
it sounds useful info though, so I suggest you
cd /usr/ports/*/nut ;
grep MAINTAINER Makefile # (as fallback if next fails)
make patch
explore tree for author of Nut, &
mail him your notes to incorporate in nut-0.45.0.tar.gz (applicable
to FreeBSD-4.4) That way your detective work gets to be saved for others :-)
Cheers.
