Attached is the output from my short script. Attached is the output from cygcheck -svr. With 30+ years experience on *nix systems, the man page is my first stop for usage details on any program. I believe this problem should be directed to the attention of the openssl package maintainer. Thanks for your continued attention. Doug -- Doug Henderson, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
