I just want to create a system whereby we can manage our setup builds in a sensible way. Since we often need files from different modules my idea was to create a batch file that will export all needed files to a build directory on a separate PC and then build from there. I can use a cvs export command for each separate file I need, no problem. I'll go along now (but I need to get the Daily build 57j files distributed to my collegues too, or at least to the server and the build PC...). Thanks for the information. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
