And, being things stored in cvs, the deltas from one version to the other of the same file are stored in a reasonable compact way... ... where is the code ? oh yes the code... cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
