SVN? is that like CVS? I do know "RCS" well enough to track _my own_ revisions. CVS? just Barely. it's the CVS kin utilities where I *really* go off the rails. :-) I got in trouble at work trying to keep my perl OS tests in sync. iv'e been graced with enough patience that I can wait several billionths/sec to get the latest deltas [&c], thank you. > > > I was betting that it wouldnt be there > > but yeah, zeus loves me. > > It's an essential port of the _operating system_ itself. > > > > Partially off-topic addition (which I think I can address to the list > in case a direct message doesn't come through): When using "reply all", > I got an error message from your MTA (via the relay of my ISP).

The rest of the time--very rarely--the godaddy mail handling hangs. has anybody else on this list seen this kind of behavior with godaddy? I'll ask my sysadmin. send him the pertinent parts of this mail. > > -- > Polytropon > Magdeburg, Germany > Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 > Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-seven years of service to the Unix community.
