Any comments on how to do this are welcome! If you are going to use CVSup anyway, then don't bother getting the initial tree via FTP. Just get it using CVSup -- it is faster than FTP. In other words, CVSup can _create_ your tree as well as update it. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
