I was aware that /bin is also mounted as /usr/bin, I had thought the /usr/local was a seperate directory such that /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin were separate from the root based directories. ssed.exe was a copy and still exists, ptr_sed.exe as a symbolic link is also missing > >> + is there something that is uninstalling the sed package?

I don't need/want you to solve a problem that apparently only I have. but yes I checked the complete path to see if there were other sed's. No there wasn't. but 7 day's ago sed.exe was in /bin and the documentation was in /usr/share.
