I can live with those names, names are just labels and are not so important to me any more so long as I have a description of what the label means as far as content. On the sup vs ctm, well, when ctm can fix my tree I just splattered all over I'll switch, until then I will leave it to the others to use. CTM is slightly fragile with respect to anyone doing work in there local tree, while sup has documented mechanism to deal with it (backup is a really nice option, as are old and keep :-). Some how I think it will be a long time before CTM can offer that level of fuctionality. Sup could use some protocol rewrites so that it does things like mass tranfer of the inode update information instead of doing it 1 file per 2xRTT and perhaps some smarts about file moves would help cut load down for things like the cvs repository (files going into the Attic are a pain :-(). -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
