Newbie questions: missing packages / script writing

[Brian Dessent]

FYI, this question should have been sent to cygwin-xfree (at)
cygwin.com, not here.  All X11 topics belong there.

The man page (/usr/X11R6/man/man1/rman.1) is in the xorg-x11-man-pages
package.  The binary (/usr/X11R6/bin/rman.exe) is in the xorg-x11-bin
package.  Both filenames contain the string "rman" but one is
documentation and one is the actual program.

If you have an empty /usr/X11R6/bin/ directory then you don't have the
binary package installed.
