[big sig snipped] http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook36.html#38 I usually keep another CVS repository for local development.

Maybe I'm just being a weenie though. :-) Good Luck, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
