However, if we do get errors or warnings, then I'm afraid that we must change it, even though it is clearly the wrong thing to do from a version control standpoint. The modules file in general is a bug in CVS, not a feature. It might be possible to implement the idea properly, but the CVS implementation is clearly broken. Ian
