Yes, some feedback would be nice. Although it works fine for me I haven't done much more than a few checkouts/updates/diff/log/info/status. Use of the local file system repository is only minimally tested. I know the output of a diff is LF only terminated but fixing this is non-trivial & can be worked around by piping it through a pager (I use 4os2's "list /s"). I've added a project to my bugzilla (http://bugs.silk.apana.org.au/) to track issues with svn so feel free to submit any OS/2 port specific bugs you find there. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ | Brian Havard | "He is not the messiah! | | brianh at kheldar.apana.org.au | He's a very naughty boy!" - Life of Brian | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
