But I finally decided that step a) is unnecessary, and the cvsup should be folded into step c). Why cvsup weekly if you're not going to build it? A good reason NOT to is that most of the time your sources won't match your system, potentially making it harder to debug your system if you have problems. Another reason is to not bog down the cvsup servers. -- Fred Gilham [EMAIL PROTECTED] [My tutors] got bored sooner than I, and laid down a general rule that all statements about languages had to be in a higher level language.
