Thanks Antoine.

That worked.  I had tried that in the past and it didn't work.  What I failed 
to notice was that I needed to clean the local yum meta-data due to.

  Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
  Current   : Mon Sep 14 08:00:16 2015
  Downloaded: Mon Sep 14 07:58:08 2015

Again, thank you very much for your help.

Chris

The winswitch packages were missing from the 6.7 repo (which is now the default 
repo for "6"), that should be fixed now.

But if you're stuck on a specific version (6.4 in your case) and not keeping up 
with minor OS releases (currently at 6.7), you may want to change the baseurl 
to read:

baseurl=http://winswitch.org/dists/RedHat/6.4/$basearch/
(and remember to change it again if and when you update that system)

Cheers
Antoine
