You do not know enough about CVSup (as you have already shown) to be able to determine whether doing things differently is easy or not, so please stop trying to guess. The small description I pointed you at is not enough material to know. Maybe you're going to think I'm an ass for being harsh, but I wish you'd stop now. I know what a finite state machine is. The only thing you are doing right now is being insulting with me. > I do not going to insist on it, though. Cool. > Looking forward to see the csup in the *base* distribution. Thanks. Maxime
