Thanks, I wasn't aware of them, Gentoo Linux doesn't provide them.
But I'm running Debian on a Raspberry Pi and "aptitude search" tells
me that they are available.  But which file(s) contain the registry?
Fabrice once told me that the registry is a distributed database. 
I deduce from that, that it's not a single file.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
