Hi All, Would it be possible to extend the cgi
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi to (optionally) output plain text instead of the formatted HTML? Add a output=text instruction? If the source is available I'd be willing to see if I could do the mod. I was thinking of some kind of command line which would simplify the users finding out what package they would need to install to access a particular tool, for example on my ubuntu machine; [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gedit The program 'gedit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gedit bash: gedit: command not found Perhaps the cygwin version could be [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ curl The program 'curl' is currently not installed. You can install it from the following package(s); curl/curl-7.15.1-1 command line tool for transferring files with HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc. curl/curl-7.15.4-1 command line tool for transferring files with HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc. curl/curl-7.16.3-1 command line tool for transferring files with HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc. where the tool could use the package-grep.cgi?output=text&grep=/curl.exe I don't know how the instruction get's fired, is there something in bash which says "run this if you don't find a program"? What do you folks think? Doable? Useful? John.
