I would like to point out that they use the SDL library for many of their
products. We have this in our ports section, but it does have a bug in that we
get a threads crash when doing sound & video simultaneously. The aliens demo
displays this fault rather well. Sometimes it works, other times

Now this is very good advice.
I am certainly going to keep Darryl's comments somewhere for easy

called ncftpget & ncftpput in the `ncftp3' port.

Let me give you some advice on FreeBSD list etiquette.

On a slight tangent, I've just gone back and reread Greg Lehey's
'How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions'. It's a great document,
covering a lot of the etiquette for the freebsd-questions mailing list.
