I will learn more as I start to work with it. I don't know how to check this (i.e. check specific versions of ONE file only - without installing a whole set of files from a distribution). I am running 2.2.5-release and just started to install & build CVSup when my swap space filled during the build - I will have to reconfigure this (or download the pre-built binary; not my first choice). > > > 3) Use the LINES= environment variable (ala vi(1)) to set the screen height > > 4) [totally optional :-].

(e.g. should I "#include " or "extern char *strcat()")? Should I change the 'sccsid[]' date and/or version number?
