The present CTM-deltas are not the kind of "patches" you are used to. The consist of a MD5 sum before, a ed-like script (diff -n) and a MD5 after, and it will bail out if your file hasn't got the right MD5 checksum. It is a distribution tool, not a patch tool. You can try it out now, check ftp://ref.tfs.com/pub/CTM/README > You've got my vote... Thanks. -- Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@login.dknet.dk> TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
