And perhaps make >daily backups of the library? You might want to look into using 'cvs', which is a bit more sophisticated than rcs (even though it's built on top of rcs ideas). It includes the idea of a "central repository", which holds all the ,v files (among other things). It has limitations of it's own, but if you're looking for something which is "a little bit more" than rcs, then you might find 'cvs' pretty useful. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
