I don't know if there is a command to display the last 5 log entries, although you could probably do this for an individual file pretty easily via the cvs web interface. In general, I have had good luck with something like the following: cvs log -d10/15/2003 (that's MM/DD/)

Jim, Would it be easier to add an imposter renderer to plib than to add move simgear over to coin-3d? How complete is the VRML support? The imposter renderer, i.e.offscreen hardware accelerated rendering to a offscreen buffer to be used as a texture is not such an easy thing (tm). When you
