It now remains to get used to systemic behavioral changes. Such things keep life interesting. Orphaner gave me a list of gl things to delete. I assume that these are things that are now obsolete. I wasn't aware that I was using them in the first place. Is it safe to assume that it knows what it is talking about when it wants to delete them? Thanks again, Hugh

Therefore, it is safe to remove these packages. It is possible that you will remove all those packages, and then those packages you just removed will make other packages orphans. The `orphaner` package will automatically run itself multiple times until there are no packages remaining which are orphaned. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
