I am running a subversion svnserve process on my work laptop, a win2000 machine. As a client I have tortoise svn. I then use subversion to manage version control on my m$ word documents. It was the binary diff ability that made me decide to do it that way rather than just keep lots of versions of the document file around. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
