Hi Chuck,

Thanks for your patient help.  Almost there now.  Just a few more
questions...

>From what I usderstand, I need to do the following:

1) Patch/compile/install (done)

2) Modify 'CVSROOT/commitinfo'.  I know I need to add a line that calls
   the perl script, but I'm sketchy on the syntax of this.

3) Modify 'CVSROOT/config':
   AlternateInfo=VALUE
     Does this need to be changed, or just left as the default?

4) Update the perl script with the proper $DenyMaster and %AllowProjList.
   This part I'm OK with.

Also, does anything have to get updated on the client side of things,
besides upgrading to the new patched version of cvs?

Thanks again...I owe you a [beer|MountainDew|coffee].

Cheers,
Vic
