Right now ctm does not work properly with the very latest cvs-xEmpty deltas, because ctm does not handle files that large. I submitted a PR a while back, but last I checked nothing has happened with it. But if ctm were a port, I think that these kinds of fixes would take place a lot faster. I think that we would need to update the CTM documentation to reflect this change, but actually I think the CTM documentation needs some changes anyway. Indeed when I started out using CTM, I found the docs quite confusing, and it was only through a process of trial and error that I figured it out. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen
