The CVS version is the latest in the development cycle. CVS is an acronym which I can't recall all the words to. But beyond the name it is a system that allows more then one developer to safely work on the same project at a time. To get the source code you check it out (like a library). Except in this particular case, there are different levels of access. A develper can check portions in a manner that indicates he is going to make changes. This will then prevent another programer from changing the same section of code (and therefor prevents one person's work from being lost). ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Cluelessness There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots
