Nope, I was just expressing the fun it is trying to properly detect the
OS.  There is no standardized naming scheme for operating systems.  BSD
is a good operating system, but I would recommend that they update the
version of perl.

You sent the message to the right address.  MHonArc fails to properly
associated "bsdos" to a Unix operating environment.  This is a bug in
MHonArc and any bugs should be sent to the list.  Having bug reports
sent to the list alerts other users of potential problems they may
encounter.
