Hi everyone: To be blunt... I can't stand CVS $Log$ substitution. This link only begins to explain why: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_12.html#SEC103 If nobody agrees, then I'll grit my teeth and fiddle my CVS config to ignore substitutions. Too bad you can't turn off just $Log$. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
