I thought you had to grab the entire > source tree each time or something... I just realized why what I said above is wrong. JDP wrote cvsup in Modula-3, which is itself big enough to choke a horse, so cvsup will not go into the source tree without a rewrite. Yes, it's much better, and static versions (not requiring the modula-3 shared libs) are in incoming at ftp.freebsd.org. CVSup will fix many problems with your sources that sup won't. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
