No, CVS originally read the file into memory using normal I/O. It was changed to use mmap instead, where available, in 1.11.2. Then in 1.11.23 it was enhanced to fall back to normal I/O if mmap fails. The fallback code is also checked in to the 1.12 branch, but there hasn't been a release that includes it yet. -- Larry Jones You don't get to be Mom if you can't fix everything just right. -- Calvin
