Because of this, you can now install and use the "cvsup" package in a reasonable amount of disk space. The package is much smaller than the statically linked binary distribution, so updates to new versions of CVSup should be more convenient now. The package is the recommended distribution for binary-only users. cvsup is as easy to use as sup; cvsup [name of cvsupfile] It can run on a character-based display but will open a window if it determines you have the display variable set. regards kim -- kimc@w8hd.org
