Thank you for for the pointer to how to find the Cygwin package
containing a file; that is indeed a useful thing to know.  Since
procmail is the home of /usr/bin/lockfile, I reinstalled procmail.

However, /usr/bin/lockfile is still missing.  Unpacking the procmail
3.22-12 tarball reveals that it contains only the
/usr/share/doc/procmail/ directory, and 4 small documentation files.
The rest of procmail is missing.

If this is something that will take a while, then perhaps I should go
back to the 32-bit installation so my scripts will work while waiting
for a fix.  But as uninstalling and reinstalling a rather large Cygwin
installation is painful, I'd rather not do this if lockfile will be
available in a week or so.

Does anyone have advice as to whether it's worth waiting vs going back
to 32 bit?

Tnx.
