Thanks for any help someone might have.
I hope you meant the SVN since the CVS is no longer used and now out of date. Also, if you are pulling from the SVN and it is for a production system, you should checkout the Branch-2.0, in the tags part, which is in preparation for a 2.0.3 release. The SVN trunk has all the new development code in it, which seems to work, but is probably not as stable as the Branch. > > -- Michael > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
