Agreed--and there's really no CVS vs. CVSNT competition anyway. If you are ultra-conservative then you could look at CVSNT as a breakaway branch that is testing out new technology vs. the stable, slow moving, more tested CVS. Now that Derek (I think that was his name) has proposed starting to migrate some functions back into CVS, it underscores this. The other comparisons, emacs vs. vi and kde vs. gnome would be MUCH harder to port things back and forth between FWIK since they are each totally separate codebases. I haven't been around those arguments enough to know, but I wouldn't imagine that any serious problems have arisen... But some fantastic products resulted from that competition. Capitalism fundamentals in OSS?! Now I'm getting WAY off topic... Regards, Glen Starrett
