I would have to parse the directory tree and install hooks for each Entries file (I hope I don't crash Windows if there are too many of them). Unfortunately, I would still have to backup each Entries file, because I only get notified _after_ the change has occurred. And I may run into problems if CVSNT accesses the Entries file multiple times. Then I get multiple notifications, and I'd like to wait for the final notification before I start comparing. But how do I know it's the final one? I have to think about this ... but things would be certainly easier if CVSNT and TCVS would cooperate somehow. -Hartmut
