You don't need much really, just ask.

well, You've already told me the command line to use - but I'm reading up
fully on CVS (dont like using things until I'm comfortable with the
mechanics) - I dont want to end up wiping over other things (though you
all have backups ready for such drama ;-) ) 

as well as the MOL parts, the APUS progress stuff has to slip into the
branch too to allow debugging. That part i still only have as files in a
diff from 2.3.x, no time :-(

That will take you weeks and months...

The CVS repository contains all versions of all files, so it's normally
trivial to back out any mistakes.

The diff is from 2.2.x, and you don't need time. Just put the definition
somewhere in head.S and a few calls to find out where they are needed. If the
diff doesn't apply anyway, that is.

weeks - though I am now having to administrate 2 new SUN Solaris servers
at work complete with RAID, DLT's and dual networking (so a lot of my time
is now sucked up - still! 'tis only work :-))

? oh! so how many 'revisions' of each file will it keep by default?

sorry, 2.2.x , yes, you are correct - still, it does take time (if only I
could get my Amiga into work 8-) )

The beauty of cvs, is that it will keep all revisions of all files, and all
changes you do can be called back at any time.

No danger of doing dangerous things, and i am not even sure if you have the
access rights needed to do them.
