LocalKeyword was widely supported with patches before it was added to the official CVS development tree... The comments in the CVSROOT-src/config file seem to confirm that, although I'm not sure where the definition is *really* added. I'm too lazy to track it down now, though. To be (even more) honest, I have a strong desire *not* to be a CVS expert. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
