As I said, I am unwilling to be an OEM of the NetBSD libraries. What will CVS or CTM do to provide me with a history of the changes? I want to know what code has changed, and why it has changed. I don't see how CTM or CVS will provide that for me automatically at this stage of the game. It *may* be possible for a utility to automatically pull out the changes and commit messages at a later date, but *until* the libraries are sync'd up, this will not work. (And I don't want to be the one to write this utility) Nate
