Thanks for pointing that out about tar. Disk space, of course, is not an issue these days. But the fact is, on our system, that cvs is a managed service that has already been setup on our system, and is being admininistered, backed up , etc. If I use cvs, I gain all of these advantages. If not, I get to do them myself. (no joy!) That is the real issue. Thanks for your inputs below. By mistake, I didn't have the list address in the last mail to you. I am cc:ing the list on my reply.
