Ok, I am wrong , SPS is somewhere between PMS and HPMS, How is that ;) > As far as I understood your text[1] an HPMS shields > the user from using > the underlaying PMS.

I have created Makefiles to automate package build. The goal is like FreeBSD's "make world", all the package will got rebuilt from package source. Otto, Please use your special position for your advantage, you are the only person that showing interest to try out TWW HPMS. please let me know by email or post here if you run into problem on trying out TWW tools,package sources. PS: can you expand OTTO intro english words that related opensource and make sense ? I am considering switch moto for otto as the installation path ;) tj *1 ftp://support.thewrittenword.com/dists/7.1/src > > tj > > Otto > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
