Those of use who sup the cvs tree get stuck with this forever since groff will always be in the cvs tree and if this carries on eventually even those of us with lots (I have 2 Gb) of disk are going to have to bail out. I guess the only way to do this is to remove all the current files and then import into the same area of the tree. That's what I did when I ditched the old libforms and imported a completely new one although I admit that was a much simpler job. The principle's the same though. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member. Phone: +44 1222 874000 x6646 (work), +44 1222 457651 (home) Dept.
