Perhaps *you* should read the >FAQ and tell us all where pax is mentioned at all. Actually, I wasn't arguing. I was asking a question. I got my answer and there's clearly no way the FAQ could help you. There's no chance that we could list every possible package someone might look for there and without doing that, folks like you are still going to come to the list with questions like yours. :-( My point was that you can find out if *any* utility is available in a Cygwin package by visiting . In your case, that would have told you that there isn't a Cygwin package with pax, which isn't what you were looking for but would have at least given you that information. In general, this is where to go to find the answer to "Where is ?" where is the utility of interest. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
