According to this approach, M$ Window$ are open source, because you can read the machine code which contains an exact description how it works inside. Why isn't there a manual page for the autoconf switch script under man autoconf and there is a manpage for another openbsd specific software under man pkg_add? Please understand that these problems may seem insignificant, but there are lots of them and added together they decrease the usability of OpenBSD. I believe that adding a piece of text here and there when reported would cost negligible work and would increase the usability of the system. Like when you report typos in books. CL<
