The text should probably be split between the wiki and the README. I prefer to keep URLs and version information on the wiki, because they have a tendency to change a lot and I don't want to have to maintain them in a checked in document. Having them in a wiki page will encourage others to fix broken links, or update known working version numbers, etc. > Like that, I can do it offline, once I have a local > clone (bitbucket.org down, no internet connection, etc...) the setup script will probably not work without an internet connection. > In theory, instructions could even vary between different > revisions of thg-winbuild.

That was the intent of the forest scheme as well, but it never quite worked properly. I don't plan on branching, but can't rule it out either. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
