System command on FreeBSD...

[Fairlight]

Simon--er, no...it was Kenneth Brody--said:

May as well take that last note out.  Seeing as fP requires a glibc 2.2
based system to even run nowadays, there's no way in hell a <= 1.1.36 will
be running fP anyway unless someone went -wayyyyyy- the heck out of their
way to make a custom system--which would likely be a huge security hole
waiting to happen anyway.  Why add confusion when none is needed at this
late date?
