I completely agree with Ben's comment. I tend to check in things like schematics or layouts in progress quite regularly since it gives a good way to backtrack if you do something stupid like 'rm *'. Not that I've ever done that before.... It also helps if you manage to mess up something and just want to revert. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
