Well, i am a bit confused here.
After all, in NetBSD we use "sup" and it does all as far as i can tell
what cvsup does. At least i do everything with it, what i normally do with
cvsup in freebsd. Now i only use netbsd, but "sup" works great, so
personally i wouldt know why you want to use cvsup while there is sup
allrdy. Laters,
Reinoud.
