Just one question: what happens when (not if, when) someone misses an update? (trashed message/mailbox, or they go on holiday and the service provider can't handle the mail volume). How does the poor sod get back into step then? A history of these deltas should be kept somewhere, at least for FTP, and possibly for mail retrieval. Some sort of sequencing should also be involved to keep the series accurate. A source tree full of .rej's is a sorry thing. Please don't interpret this as an attempt to kill the idea (which I think is GREAT), I just would like to see it work... -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
