This is a sensible request. I think that the package "cruft" does a better job here, as it is specialized in doing that.

[1] Actually, cruft is more general than that: it searches for any file that doesn't belong to a package. Of course, assuming how a standard system is laid on disk, filtering just the binary/executable files would be a job of grep'ping with a simple regular expression. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
