You know, you really should start playing around more. :-)

Check out http://www2.za.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html, which
discusses your question in some detail.

Well now _that's_ a silly question.  How am I to know when I haven't
seen your scripted solution? :-)

All I can say is that I had a scripted solution which I was very proud
of until my mentor showed me CVS.  However, I'm not restricted to
dial-up most of the time.  When I _was_ using dial-up, it certainly
_felt_ like CVS was slower than CVSup, but I wasn't watching closely.

Perhaps you could do some benchmarking and gimme some information for
the Handbook? :-)

Later,
Sheldon.
