genini differs from upset in this way, then. You can probably just remove that error. >The setup.ini entry for each library source had only category, sdesc, >and ldesc tags.

I created a setup.ini which had only a -src package and it definitely shows up in setup.ini. I didn't try actually running setup.exe on that setup.ini but I'd be surprised if it didn't show up. I am as pessimistic as anyone about the ability of users to understand what setup.exe is showing them but it seems to me that if you have a package called foo-source and only the source is available it should be pretty clear what is going on. cgf
