I don't know. Maybe those features aren't available in Panther. Even if they are: call it freedom of choice.

assuming you already have the port, updated. compare the output of

/opt/local/bin/gfile /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/ libncurses.5.4.dylib

and

/usr/bin/file /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/ libncurses.5.4.dylib

that should answer your question.


If /usr/bin/file provides a functionality superset of gfile, why would anyone install gfile?

If gfile has some useful features not found in /usr/bin/file, then perhaps the ultimate solution is to enhance /opt/local/bin/file to make it provide a functionality superset of /usr/bin/file.

Just my 2 cents' worth,
Dave
