I don't have one so it's probably 3rd party software related. Could be anyones guess.

R6, What is in the folder? and what MacOS are you running?

From a graphics / dtp perspective, Macs that are used as a RIP (Raster Image Processor - for highend output devices) running Harlequins Scriptworks have an "sw" folder.

Hi matmac,

Hi brettmjohnson,
Thank you as well!
>>sw is the default installation directory for packages installed by Fink.
Thats what i thought as well! But, i dont think i've installed Fink before..and theres nothing in the /sw beside an empty lib folder. Also, i've tried to run some basic Fink command and it said command not found. So, what is really going on??

thank you all!
