I think they are quite similar. Maybe 5.9 is missing a couple of files (the contrib directory comes to mind). Maybe 5.9 has more bugfixes than 5.8.8, maybe less, maybe just a different set. I guess they are close enough that you can just use cvs to diff the 5.9 branch against the 5.8.8 release. I'd say to use 5.9 if you can and to use 5.8.8 as a substitute or if one of the minor changes is important. kai -- Lisp is kinda like tpircstsoP
