Instead, edit the CVS repository directly. Well, mucking with the CVS repository directly isn't really an option, since I don't have direct access to the RubyForge machines. :( If this really were the difference between v1 and v2 I might bug Tom about reorganizing my repo, but since its not, I think I'll just go with the tag-and-delete option. - Jamis -- Jamis Buck jgb3@email.byu.edu http://www.jamisbuck.org/jamis "I use octal until I get to 8, and then I switch to decimal."
