Richard already answered most of this. I'll just mention that you should add the "-P" flag to your cvs checkout command, or you'll get some extra files that don't really belong in -stable. Subsequently, when you do "cvs update" commands, add both "-P" and "-d". John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
