Any objections? You can access Omar's latest code using subversion: svn co http://postgresql.tinysofa.com/svn/trunk Because of the images additions/changes which don't lend themselves to diff -c format, I recommend allowing Omar to check in the changes directly to CVS on gborg. I don't see any problems with that approach, because it can always be rolled back. Omar tells me that he is already registered, with username 'omar'. I'd assist but I will be in Japan with limited internet access. Thoughts? Gavin
