On the other hand, it'd be a real pain to have to hunt the web for all the extra extensions needed for a particular environment. Lots of people have to use PVCS - so in the meantime they'll download ant and find it inadequate for their needs, despite the fact that someone has written a PVCS connector (unless they're really keen and hunt the patch down themselves). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
