If you only want to check it out, and aren't planning on checking it back in again, you can do it with CVSup. :-) Just set "tag=RELENG_2_2" and "date=96.12.25.00.00.00" in your supfile. Fire up a local cvsupd, and aim your cvsup client at it. It's actually a lot faster than "cvs co". But it doesn't create any of the "CVS" directories, so you won't be able to use cvs on it after that. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
