> P.S. - I sent you a couple of personal messages to Dada Mail @ Ahh, so *that's* what happens when I type square bracket program_name square bracket into the body of a plain text email message!

That *is* weird! Keep me posted as to how things turns out with different CVS programs. In the meantime, you're probably well advised to do an update of the /templates/ folder every time, *before* you dip into it, because as you know, I'm making changes fast and furious in there. :-) > I'm going to make an ann ...Continue Reading

As I've stated, it looks like the problem with deleting files is with the CVS GUI frontend I was using - in CVS-land (or is it, CVSland? (: ), you have to first remove a file from your local repository, send the, "cvs rm" command to the CVS server, and then commit the file. More details: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#What%20Happens%20When% 20You%20Remove%20A%20File The problem is, that when you remove a file from your local repository, my GUI frontend would magically make the file I ...Continue Reading

> I'd like to change my vote. :-) OK, me too - let's do email, since it's a pain to type, e-mail. I think I did prefer e-mail - I did my own research and changed everything about and stuck to that convention, but I think the change was for version 2.0 - in 2000 :) Apple's Mail.app spells it, "email" - and you *know* Apple couldn't possibly do any bad. Thanks for the epistemological hike. Justin Simoni ...Continue Reading

> > ...And with all those updates, I've never h Weird, as I've stated, I get them whenever you work on a file :) I'm going to switch from MacCVS PRO 3.0a (Carbon) to jCVS 5.4.2, which *has* been updated in the last decade and see if that helps - there's also a bug in that program where you cannot delete a file - jCVS fixes that (more on that later) > If I'm not mistaken, I think your conflicts are a result of me putting > something up after you update but before you commit...which means that > t ...Continue Reading

Re: >e-mail, email ...I actually use "email" in my own life/work. My reasons for putting "e-mail" as my first choice were: (A) because Justin seems to prefer it [if the majority spelling in the program right now is any indication]; and (B) becuase when I went to the Wiktionary, the first thing I saw was this redirect page: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/email The counter-arguments are: (A) who cares how things are now, if there's a better way [see also: "blacklist"] - after all, this ...Continue Reading

Hey Shane, Can you make sure you do a, "Update" before you edit and commit changes in the CVS? I'm getting a lot of conflicts - basically any file we're both on, because you're using an older version of the file, Cheers, Justin Simoni ...Continue Reading
