There is no "the module," there are several modules. Watch this: freefall$ cvs co -P brandelf ls cvs checkout: Updating brandelf U brandelf/Makefile U brandelf/brandelf.1 U brandelf/brandelf.c cvs checkout: Updating ls U ls/Makefile U ls/cmp.c U ls/extern.h U ls/ls.1 U ls/ls.c U ls/ls.h U ls/print.c U ls/stat_flags.c U ls/util.c freefall$ cat CVS/Repository /home/ncvs/src/usr.bin/brandelf I checked out two modules, and it arbitrarily decided that "the module" was brandelf. I don't see how that could be viewed as anything but a bug. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
