Yes. Simply untar it into your existing repository (after making sure there are no naming conflicts, of course). If the tarball includes the CVSROOT administrative directory, you'll need to exclude it. Then you have to (manually) merge the contents of their modules file into your existing modules file (likewise for all the other administrative files if you have their CVSROOT directory in the tarball). -Larry Jones Let's just sit here a moment... and savor the impending terror. -- Calvin
