Thanks; this is just what I need, I think. (*reads code*) Hm, this doesn't pick out the bits of the changed ChangeLog that applies to different files if there's more than one file that's changed, does it? This is how I work: 1a) I read a bunch of bug reports, and I fix a bunch of bugs in a bunch of files, noting everything in the ChangeLog. 1b) I fix a bunch more bugs. 2) I see that it doesn't compile, so I fix a bunch more. 3) I see that it compiles, so I start it. 4) I see that it didn't start, so I go back to 1b) a couple of times 5) I say "cvs commit -m ''", which is why you get all those empty log messages. I don't really want to commit before after I've done 4). So I either want something that picks out the relevant bits from the ChangeLog entries I've added in 1), or some other way of doing things so that the ChangeLog will be generated in 5). Shirley this can't be an unusual way of working? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
