Re: inadvertent unlock

Thanks for the quick response. At least I know it is not because i 
screw something up installing and setting it up. When you say 
"current development version", Is this the CVS 1.11.1p1 source 
distribution available for download at CVShome since 10-16-01? Or you 
do mean for me to pull a current copy out of the repository.
Thanks
Joe
