It's not on any of the CD's; you'll need to hit a -current FTP repository, and you'll need Tcl installed. What it'll give you is basically a list of who uses what, wrt. shared libraries. You can use this information to decide which libraries/binaries fit your definition of 'stale'. It works OK with 2.1* strains as well as -current. > Robert Watson -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
