Tim may have been thinking of non-cygwin apps, i.e. non *cygwin* apps, i.e. apps that do not use or link against cygwin1.dll, i.e. win32 apps, rather than non-cygwin apps, i.e. *non-cygwin* apps, i.e. ones that aren't from official packages. So I guess the answer is (cd / && ls -1 usr/bin/* ) >a.txt gunzip -c /etc/setup/*.lst.gz | grep '^usr/bin/.' > b.txt cat a.txt b.txt | sort | uniq -u ... although this will also find anything that was created by a postinstall script as well: shortcuts in particular. (There may be other false pos/neg-atives, I haven't been thorough...) cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
