Yep, that site works nicely. I have had a couple times it didn't have a file in its database but most of the time, it is in there. Great site. To everyone reading this, you can install app-portage/pfl and set it up in a cron to send the results once a week. I do that here to help keep the database up to date since I update pretty often. Sort of return the favor. This is especially true if you run some rarely used programs. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
