I agree that it needs a little work in order to support cvs & ctm. One thought is to make .ctm_status a permant part of the source tree and to have an additional file .cvs_status that would be used to track version #'s of source files that have changed between each CTM delta. That way a CVS user could pull down modified source files and know how far off from the CTM delta they are. Scot
