Vince, I don't use cvsup or sup, I use ctm (the best!) but I understand that cvsup does look at what you have locally, and only send differences. It does a better job of getting rid of extra files you have, that you aren't supposed to have, I think. I'm not going to respond to further sup or cvsup questions, I'm the wrong guy to ask on that. Go get the files from ftp.freebsd.org and read the READMEs, they explain it. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
