IANAP But, if I understand correctly there is a CVS merge command that can take two pieces of code and merge the changes without necessarily overwriting them... that said, I've got the tiki CVS running on my home box. I may not be much of a programmer but I'd like to help as I can! Dennis --------- >>From: Luis Argerich When you are about to fix a bug please follow this procedure: 5) Commit the code, if it is a problem already present in 1.6 please fix it both in the 1.6 branch (release_tauceti-bugfixes) AND in the main trunk (1.7) ... I hope everyone uses the CVS merge feature to apply release_*-bugfixes fixes to the main trunk. It is so much easier than doing it manually, and reduces the chances of missing things. --------- LIMBURG, Mark wrote: > Howdy > > Okay, here's what I think is happening ... > > I took a random page from the tiki demo site, and ran it through > CodeSweeper.
