The idea is good, but vcs (I'm only familiar with svn) won't work with binary files IF several people on several machines might edit one and the same file. Keeping everything in sync across several collaborators who might touch the same files relies heavily on diff/patch mechanisms that only work with text files. Doesn't Oo have some built-in versioning or collaboration system? Something a bit more sophisticated than the "Record Changes" feature? --D. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
