I still have a.out binaries. impress failed to install because impress needs pstoedit -- which is a zip download.
===> Validating dependencies for impress-1.1b9
Installed package unzip-* is an a.out package.
You are building an ELF package, which will not inter-operate.
Please update the unzip-* package to ELF
bsd.pkg.mk adds unzip as build dependency when the download is a zip. unzip works fine, but I did a pkg_delete of unzip.

Next it built tcl-8.3.2nb2, but tcl-8.3.2nb1 was already installed. So I did a "pkg_delete -r tcl-8.3.2nb1". Then for a third time under graphics/impress: "make TARGET=bin-install bin-install". A few minutes later, it died again because tk-8.3.2 was already installed. So instead of deleting I did: "make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 install" under x11/tk. (I wonder why the recursive pkg_delete above didn't delete the tk package?) Then impress finally installed. (Hopefully, it will provide my desktop publishing needs.)
