Good point on those LIST files, they are indeed temporary files for my 
use, but they are regenerated whenever I do a pkg upgrade (manually), so 
I don't think they are much of an issue. They are strictly for the 
convenience of not having to go online to recover that info, solely for 
my use, no daemons or utilities. Your point is still well taken. Thanks 
:-).
