(5.2, 5.3, 6.0). If using CVS checkout and update then I only need the changed files. That would save a lot of bandwidth on both ends. Besides for the snapshots I either have to download manually or guess the new filename (ok it seems to be quite predictable as a timestamp) or screenscrap the snaps site. So for a first round it is ok to start with the snapshot but I think it would be better if I could update from CVS. regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://www.szabgab.com/
