Any change to newvers.sh other than > the timestamp would still be RCSd. How does it get stored in my version of newvers.sh up here in Montana since I never modified it, or do any commits? When I do a 'cvs update' of my sources, newvers.sh won't get updated since there haven't been any RCS modifications to it. Remember, I get the actual sources bits via CVS. Nate
