CVS claims to support multiple vendor branches, but in practice it doesn't work in any useful sense. There's at least one place in the CVS sources where "the" vendor branch is hard-coded as 1.1.1. You really don't want to use multiple vendor branches -- trust me. :-) Use two repositories instead, or use perforce. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
