>Organization:
>Environment:

	Tested under FreeBSD 3.0-current; no problems anticipated
	with earlier versions.

>Description:

	Uploaded viz-1.1.1.tar.gz to ftp.freebsd.org's incoming;
	please commit new port.

	This app was originally posted to comp.sources.misc.  The
	DISTFILE comes from the U.K. Sunsite, by cd'ing to the
	volume47 directory and using the auto-tar feature of FTP
	to fetch viz.tar, which gets the viz subdirectory and its
	accompanying shar files.  The extract and patch rules deal
	with this expected input properly.

	The problem with this technique is that you can only have
	one site on the fetch list, because you get different md5
	checksums at each site due to slightly different timestamps
	and contents.  Is there a better way to handle this?

 The only alternatives is to remove the md5 check (via IGNOREFILES) so
 you can put all the sites on the list or put it in our LOCAL_PORTS
 directory.  Neither seems better than what you did.

Imported, thanks. 

I found a site which carries a .tgz distribution and used that.
