Well, as I said, I'll be doing my damndest to put the CVS tree on the next CDROM anyway since the only reason I didn't before was simply due to our self-imposed restrictions on it. However, you resurrect an earlier discussion I had earlier with WC, actually: Would people be interested in SNAPSHOT CDs which also contain the CVS tree at the point of the snapshot and anything else I manage to cram on there? The CD would come very cheaply packaged, would be available only by subscription and would probably be a fair bit cheaper (I can't say for sure what that would be, but it wouldn't be anything like the subscription price for the "mainstream" CD). Any interest? How much would you WANT it to cost? If I can present WC with a list of customer preferences, it will greatly influence those kinds of decisions. Jordan
