<body class='hmmessage'>This is not my doing, at least not knowingly, just reporting the facts, officer. I wonder if maybe something more like Randy's scheme should be put in place. He has a smaller hand authored checked in file. The current system is more automatic, but doesn't handle changes automatically, and generates far more data than necessary I think. Perhaps another approach is to keep a timestamp/revision, embedded in the name, pkgs.v1234, someone rev the name as needed, and if the desired name doesn't exist rm pkgs.v* and recreate? This is a nice simple model imho. Changes are also very infrequent in my short observance.<BR>

(I do go so far in the python directory to always use forward slashes, so the files are more portable across systems. :)<BR>
Really, you know, it doesn't matter what the underlying system uses, as long as you translate at all the appropriate places and as long as you pick a syntax that can represent everything needed (not necessarily anything the underlying system supports).<BR>
However you do have to translate at all the appropriate levels, possibly under the guidance of user settings. In particular, I can set M3CONFIG, M3ROOT, etc. to have forward slashes and it works just fine on Windows, but when errors are reported with paths, I can't paste them into file.open dialogs without changing the slashes....)<BR>
