 * My '/usr/X11R6/bin/' has no such file even though I have a
   complete install of everything, probably because: mine is a
   relatively new machine, and I have no such "remnants of yore".
 
 * I found a dodgey version of 'cygdpstk-1.dll' on the net
   (-rwxrwxrwx+ 180671 Jan 23  2004 cygdpstk-1.dll).
   (I checked it with 'strings' and my Virus scanner, first.)
  
   Is there a later version?
 
 * Do the Cygwin archive servers that appear in the 'setup.exe'
   list, keep prior versions of the install files? I presume that
   the ftp servers are accessible thru a standard ftp client?
 
 * I do not save the archives that are downloaded to install
   Cygwin updates (although I do save all my personal
   configuration information). If one cannot get these old
   archives off The Net?, perhaps I should rethink my backup
   strategy?

 * The "path" you allude to, above, probably should be "$PATH".
 
 * BTB, if a user has X windows properly installed, I believe,
   '/usr/X11R6/bin/' would be in/on the "$PATH".

Bruce,

Thanks for the tip

I changed the subject line because both you and I had misspelled
GraphicsMagick in previous posts. (Makes finding the "Rosetta
Stone" difficult.)

P.S. Thanks for the 'site:' tip on Google, as well.
