No, that's not necessary. If you can localize the files as you state, then you can certainly determine the packages they come from using 'cygcheck' (see 'man cygcheck') or . Once you have the package(s) from which these files came, you can look in 'setup.ini', which you'll find in you local download directory, to find which other packages have this one (or ones) in their "requires" line. If you find one that is not in the X category, then that would be one "culprit". It may turn out, however, that the package belongs to more than 1 category, in which case things are as they should be. ;-) Regardless, this procedure should give you the information you're looking for. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
