If we all developed in CVS, then we'd have tons of broken features with no one able to fix anything because Jim Bob's code is broken, but he can't fix it because Mary Sue's code has issues, but of course Mary Sue is having difficulty because Jim Bob's code in broken... Think of perforce as the experimental FreeBSD... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
