I don't think this is specific to my machine so I'll forego the cygcheck stuff. If it develops I'm wrong I'll do it...

I did "makewhatis -w" to get the database. When I do an apropos command each entry has [] after the name:

$ apropos perl
a2p []               (1)  - Awk to Perl translator
alias []             (3)  - declare symbolic aliases for perl data
B []                 (3)  - The Perl Compiler
...

What's that [] stuff? It doesn't happen on Ubuntu.

Castigation, denigration and mastication cheerfully accepted. ~tm
