What about the "this page intentionally left blank" report? Is that on your list? Btw, I had a strange experience yesterday after downloading bitkeeper for Windows. I had a hunch that it was using cygwin, and it does appear to be. It actually gets around the GPL issue (somewhat) by running cygwin setup (and old version, I think) from it's own setup process. In the process, it also reset some of my mount points to my c: drive from my f: drive. I didn't notice this for half an hour and couldn't figure out why setup kept insisting on downloading things that I knew were already installed. I could only find one binary that was linked with cygwin -- patch.exe. One other binary apparently mucked with cygwin's registry but there was no obvious use of the DLL. cgf
