Hello Mark, thanks for your answer and sorry for the off-list answer from me, I pressed the wrong key. :-(

Only the cygwin version is a little bit critical, but as it is only used against one (my own!) cvs server and only inside a local net and behind a firewall, I can live with this limitation. > However, it has the same behavior in the current stable and feature > releases of cvs of doing the 'cvs -nq update' on your module before > releasing it. Well, then there remains the question what the 3rd pass(word|phrase) is for? Best regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
