Well, the hourly snapshot is actually rsync to an external backup server. And it works for both ASCII and binary files - read: all files. I do use CVS, but as already mentioned I wasn't ready to commit. Actually I was minutes from being ready to commit when the segmentation fault happened. But anyways, I didn't take the backup/comitted the file, and now I must pay the extra time spent. I can only hope the layout becomes better the second time. Maybe with less vias :-) Thanks for the help and suggestions! /Mikael _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
