I am getting several errors about Windows only packages when I use task views. Is this suppose to be a Windows-centric utility? Also, I am sure there must be a simple way to tell which packages are in a view, but I haven't found it. If there isn't, it would be nice to have.

Is this suppose to be a Windows-centric utility?Paul, not at all, but the 3 packages mentioned below only work under Windows, because they depend on software such as DCOM, OpenBUGS and MIM, all of them available for Windows only.> Also, I am sure there must be a simple way to tell which packages are in > a view, but I haven't found it.
