(It still claims to document 2.1.7, for instance.) It would be good if there were some way of interrogating the server so as to find out what CVS tags make sense to it. On nasty way would be to have a collection in the main branch, containing exactly one file: a list of all "approved" tags. Then it's just necessary to remember to keep this up to date any time a new tag is added. -- Gareth McCaughan Dept. of Pure Mathematics & Mathematical Statistics, gjm11@dpmms.cam.ac.uk Cambridge University, England.
