yup. i rofl'd a bunch at that one. i mean, after all you can't use any wizards on unix. which means that you write code, not macros :->. > PS.

(The gui of VSS is nice, > sometimes, though) it's similar to cvs indeed. with the difference that visual source safe is known to corrupt the repository every now and then. i have worked in a couple of scenarios with visual source safe and was always surprised to find all the developers keeping their local copies backed up several times. after a little while, it was obvious - every month or so, visual source save four fsck up and the repository had to be rebuilt... i have *never* had a problem with cvs! martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "may your future be limited only by your dreams." -- christa mcauliffe
