The two most common ways to do this are to cvsup the CVS repo and then check out your sources; and to write a script that calls cvsup, and then immediately applies your patches. The advantage to the first method is that cvs is pretty good about merging in new changes to a file that you have patched. The advantage to the second method is that it's faster. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
