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. > >or until your scripted solution stops working for you. :-) > > Really?

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.
