It can be done though... Just a note -- I've used all the Windows GUI CVS clients and the only one I'd recommend is Tortoise CVS. It's the no-contest cock of the walk in my opinion. http://www.tortoisecvs.org It doesn't come with a difference editor, but you can plug one in. I highly recommend Araxis Merge. It's not free, but it's worth paying for. I've never seen its equal. http://www.araxis.com/merge/index.html -- Danny
