Well, IREX is core dumped, if memory serves. Charles Cruden the authour of 
InternetRex, does not have a FreeBSD system to develop on, and does not 
percieve FreeBSD as worth while making a native binary for it (FreeBSD), I 
did ask. Pity IREX is not OpenSource then one could compile ones own native 
version. I did not push the matter as I can run any or all OS versions for 
which there are binaries available.

Maybe I should ask again, and also maybe I should get a current version of 
FreeBSD and try again. Might be able to get a 4.7 Release version.
