Hi, Steve. I think that you and I are on the same thought. I merely wanted a CVS package that was in a single file that could be applied rather than this checkout on the fly method. I guess what I am asking is it possible to have both? The current checkout method, and perhaps a tar ball of the files that can be backed up somewhere, and applied to the source tree manually? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Holmes" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 9:35 AM Subject: Re: Major problem with Speakup. > This discussion does bring up one question for me though.
