FWIW the github way of handling that would be to fork the Sparkle project there, creating a fork in the name of bibdesk (or your github user), add your changes to your fork, and send the Sparkle project a pull request. That way you can track your local changes in your own tree, but from time to time either have them pull changes from yours or you pull changes from theirs. The github (well git actually, but github makes it easy) system tracks the relationship between the two trees. It's really ideal for the situation you are facing, although there is a decent learning curve. --J ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
