Thanks for the tip. I instigated this project, so pretty well whatever I
decide goes. I've advanced with WinCVS but I don't either that or
Tortoise are going to make me any friends with the users. This is to

directory layers and of course has dozens of files called index.html,
the potential for confusion is quite great.
