You could just say those exact words instead of going on and on about something mysterious which is apparantly "stray". I am not familiar with the words you have chosen to use in this context. If you say "stray file", please enumerate the "stray" files or tell me how I can find them. You did neither. I really do appreciate your helping, but sometimes you have to be very explicit to people who may not be as familiar with the port as you are. I treat all docbook ports as nuiscances since I do not see them provide me with any features at all. I remove them and nothing changes, therefore they are useless to me, but somehow required by parts of the ports. > >> I sent you my catalog files.
