Thanks. I looked at cvs book and realized that it was a branch. It just wasn't what I'd expected to see on initial import. I didn't mind losing old log/version info ( there wasn't that much ) and a new baseline seemed to be a good idea. Thanks again. ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"
