I could fine neither.   My first reply was just out of the
README.html in the ports tree.

I'm not familiar with submitting a PR so I guess I need to study up
on that.  Sorry.

In that case why does the 'make' in /usr/ports/misc/mmv try to find
one when it can't get the one from wustl.edu?

Thanks for fixing the Makefile to point to a good archive.  I see
it alread when I cvsup'ed the ports tree again.  I'm sure others
will appreciate that.

I'll try to do better in describing problems.
