I am looking for a way to do string substitution for CVS tags in the same fashion as the

Is there something dumb I have overlooked or does it take manual intervention to include the 'official' release tag into programs that can be viewed with ident or what. man ident man what cheers mjt "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
