CVS can *save* you time and energy. Like the patch for bbkeys I sent
to the list a few days ago: since Jason uses CVS, I could easily
check whether the bug is still there, and send a diff against
uptodate code.
Not that it would matter in this case (the patch was a oneliner, and
in a stable piece of code), but these two virtues of CVS are very
much apreciated.
