For the love of all things holy, please think of windows!" I like the module mechanism as trunk is hidden from the checkout (there behind the scenes). As I see things, the "trunk" folder is on the wrong side of the checked-out folder. At least for phpdoc. phpdoc/trunk/doc-base phpdoc/trunk/en phpdoc/some_tag_or_branch/docbase phpdoc/some_tag_or_branch/en Without the symlink (windows XP fails miserably here), and not using one of the modules, the trunks are in the way. -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
