Hi everybody, Thank you so very much for all the helpful advice and suggestions. I live in Australia, so it is TV veg-out time and nearly bedtime. I will work through all your replies in detail in the morning.

Heh, heh! Someone else suggested that and it was also one of the first things I thought of. But guess what. I have TimeMachine, but my settings exclude backing up /opt/local and several other build/object-code areas, on the basis that they are large and the wherewithal to re-create them is easily available elsewhere. in source-code directories, MacPorts servers, etc. Well, it is the first time in six years I have been caught out… :-( Mind you, I should have upgraded my OSX long ago and none of this would have happened… :-( Cheers, Ian W.
