Synchronizing source trees over the Internet", thanks to Jordan. I told him I'd flesh it out a long time ago, but I just haven't gotten around to it. If anybody is willing to put this together, I'll be very grateful, and I'll do my best to provide whatever answers you need. The cvsup(1) man page might be a reasonable place to start. With a little reformatting into SGML, it could fit into the web pages reasonably. A FAQ is also desperately needed, hint hint. :-) John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
