RE: multiple xpm instances

["Kirschner, Paul E. UTRC" <KirschPE at UTRCCT dot res dot utc dot com>]

The xpm package I have is NOT listed in the setup (so I cannot uninstall or
reinstall from there). It is NOT listed as part of the xpm-nox package.

Could it be a remnant from the pre-cygwin setup days when we separately
downloaded tgz files for scripted installs?

I suppose it is the package "xpm-nox" you see in /usr, basically a
version not needing X, and is provided if you just need to do some
conversions (is it gs?) and don't want the X-servers..

How to remove it.. uninstall it through setup :-) Hmm weird that it
isn't updated, there seems to be a 4.2.0 'out'.
