Heck, *I* would have liked that, but it doesn't seem to be true (unless some other error I'm committing is killing me off). The cvs-supfile tells me to set default release to cvs, but when I tried that, it seems to be giving me a checked out cvcs image, not the actual cvs archive I wanted. I think here we have a communications problem, because I don't have a good enough word for what I want. I don't want a directory I can immeidately begin to read, I want something I can point the cvs executeable at, and have it check out the directory for me. I want the checkout (and all the other commands) to have a strictly local effect. That's not what the cs-supfile seems to be doing to me. OTOH, if you tell me that you're *sure* you got that right, then I'll believe you and begin looking at the rest of my cvsup file. I seem to remember hasving something like "." in the variable, but my memory is a bit shaky on this. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr_at_chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
