If I correctly remember the issue, if I merge earthdistance back into the main source tree (which is a simple mv operation and cvs update on the modules file), it will potentially break everyone's currently checked out CVS source, since the 'paths' will change in the CVS/Root file ... I'm willing to do it, since all the work I generally do, I do with a fresh check out ... Am CC'ng in -hackers, as they will potentially be *the most* affected by doing this ... ---- Marc G.
